Wedding Ring - The Hard Lessons

Do you want to sail out to the sea We could see what we could be I wanna take you to the coast with me Where we could lay across the sand You'd hold my head inside your hands As we surrender to the beach And I remember in the morning as the sun poured in As we're awaking lying naked in our summer skin Can't say I love you so I'm looking for a synonym You said you'd probably say it by mistake it made me grin We tried to hide under the blankets when our friends came in I thought of everything, except your wedding ring It's hard to notice what you can't comprehend In spite of everything, find out it's just a fling I got my hopes up now I'm let down again I want to take you to the plains Where we could scream each others names I wanna see you feel the same again Like in our tent upon the lake We're with our friends and it grows late We all surrender to the rain And I remember in the morning as the sun poured in As we're awaking lying naked in our summer skin Can't say I love you so I'm looking for a synonym You said you'd probably say it by mistake it made me grin We tried to hide under the blankets when our friends came in I thought of everything, except your wedding ring It's hard to notice what you can't comprehend In spite of everything, find out it's just a fling I got my hopes up now I'm let down again And I remember in the morning as the sun poured in As we're awaking lying naked in our summer skin My heart is racing it's the start of something happening I didn't notice on your hand you wore that silver ring

"Amazing grace" is a beautiful tune Come on spring, will you sing for me in June I want you to be there when the church choir sing I want you to be there when those wedding bells rings A baby is born in June in my name? In times of trouble and pain Let that spirit grace a tender heart Teach her love right from the start May this love in peace ever rise? May this love grow healthy and sane On steady feet to a higher ground To a state of grace when no dogs come around I want you to be there when those wedding bells ring (*4) I want you to be there (*4) I want you to be there when those wedding bells ring I want you to be there (*3)

You were here and then you left And now there's nobody, nobody Now they're all just second best There's nobody, nobody So if you want me I'll be around You're a bird in the water I'm a fish on the ground Just hold me closer Oh, won't you hold me down tonight But if you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it like it's a wedding ring Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing If you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it This is the real thing Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing When you're near, I feel the best I'm somebody, somebody It's in my pulse, it's in my chest My whole body, whole body So if you want me I'll be around You're a bird in the water I'm a fish on the ground Just hold me closer Oh, won't you hold me down tonight But if you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it like it's a wedding ring Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing If you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it This is the real thing Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing You're in the country And I'm in the town You're a bird in the water I'm a fish on the ground And I wanna be there For you tonight And I hope you hear me Baby, hold on tight Hold on tight Yeah! If you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it like it's a wedding string Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean If you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it like it's a wedding ring Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing If you cut a piece of guitar string I would wear it This is the real thing Wrapped around my finger You know what I mean You make my heart sing

1: I'm sitting here, Watching the clouds go by, but you're not here. And I bet you're walking on down the beach, Or driving on down the street, or being anywhere else I'd rather be. 2: I'm sitting here, Watching the cars go by, but you're not here. And I bet you're feeling live, As I sit here on the surface route, It's not any place else I'd rather be. When you fall asleep, do you ever think of me? Cause I always think of you. And I know you're not alone, When I get back home, I'd really (really) really like to see you again. 3: I'm not always easy to find, for two months at a time. I'm going to find, the benefit of the doubt. But I'm sitting here wanting(waiting), wishing (wishing). That you were here, that you were here with me. Na na na, na na na Na, na na na na na na na na na na. I'm sitting here, Watching the clouds go by, and I'm so glad, cause you're right here.
