Píseň: Meet Me In The Dark

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Lucky
Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered 
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul 
You know it's wrong what they've been sayin' 
And you knew all along that I would have to go 


Find the place where light shines on my reflection 
A place where I can stand upon my own 
Not down on my knees 
Until then please 


[chorus]
Meet me in the dark 
Meet me in the shadows 
Past the old graveyard 
On Eisenhower road 
Meet me where the storms 
Blow out on their own dear 
Meet me in the dark 
Never let me go 


I know everyone has their unspoken fear 
That eats away their senses and their humanity 
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river 
And they try so hard to drown them 
They wont do that to me 


Cause I'm working hard saving all my money 
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings 
For my mercury 
Until then please 


[chorus]


I could never hide this little light of mine 
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake 
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide 
Swallowing my pride 


Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me 
For I could not survive if they took you away 


[chorus]
