Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Your Name On A Grain Of Rice lyrics

rate me

I see the sun settin' over America

I'm tryin' to leave my darker side behind

Feelin' my way down a blue desert highway

Wish my rear view mirror could tell me a lie

The harder I fight the stronger it's a comin'

I wipe the tears from my eyes

and keep on strummin'

Baby, I ain't runnin' away

I'm tryin' to find you something better inside me

And now my second home is a third-world cantina

I spend years alone every day I don't see you

And to me the sunset is sinkin' in the sea

Looks like my own bleedin' corazon

There's a man comin' over here

Sellin' silver and souvenirs

And I will pay full price

For your name on a grain of rice

I am a father, a son, a restless spirit

I can see the light but I can never get near it

What good is my love song

If you ain't around to hear it?

I see the fighter planes tearing' across the desert sky

Do I curse them or cheer them on?

I still can't decide...

But the silence they leave behind

Sounds like what I feel inside...

And now my second home is a third-world cantina

I spend years alone every day I don't see you

And to me the sunset is sinkin' in the sea

Looks like my own bleedin' corazon

There's a man comin' over here

Sellin' silver and souvenirs

And I will pay full price

For your name on a grain of rice<br />

<br />
