Patti Scialfa - Charm Light lyrics

rate me

Written by: Patti Scialfa

You know I got a string of kisses

Tattooed down my arm

From the love of lonely men

That always came to harm

Tattooed down my arm

To my fingertips

You ain't the only lonely

Man that I've ever kissed

But when the night is sinking low

Hold me baby oh and don't let go

'Cause when you turn that charm light on me

Yeah you turn all the wrong in my world right

When you turn that charm light on me

Make it so pretty make it all seem right

You know I saw those fallen crosses

Those broken stones of faith

Knew I could name the sorrow

That haunts the side of your face

Yeah I could name the sorrow

And somehow set you free

I knew you'd be the one

Who'd do the same for me

So when the night is sinking low

Come on baby oh here we go

'Cause when you turn that charm light on me

Yeah you turn all the wrong in my world right

When you turn that charm light on me

Make it so pretty make it all seem right

Now I know love ain't no fairy tale

Ain't so pretty or so pure

There's a train of unforgiveness

For things that came before

But I know who I am

And I wash myself clean

Of all that muddy water

And all those railroad dreams

So when the night is sinking low

Come on baby oh here we go

'Cause when you turn that charm light on me

Yeah you turn all the wrong in my world right

When you turn that charm light on me

Make it so pretty make it all seem right

Turn the light on me

Turn the light on me now

Turn the light on me

Turn the light on me now

Turn the light on me

Turn the light on me now

Turn the light on me
