Heather Nova - I’m Alive lyrics

Your hands are covered in paint

The pillow smothered my cry

You were half charmer half snake

I lived in dreamtime

But I'm alive; I survived you

And the bitter taste, the years I wasted

All the hate is gone

'Cause I'm alive

Some nights I'd sleep in the car

Just to escape you

You drove devotion too far

No-one could save you

But I'm alive; I survived you

And the bitter taste, the years I wasted

All the hate is gone

'Cause I'm alive

I still have visions of you

I still have nights to get through

And when the trust isn't true,

I have these visions of you, visions of you

But I'm alive; I survived you

And the bitter taste, the years I wasted

All the hate is gone 'cause I'm alive

Ride on and fade away

There's nothing more to say

Ride on and fade away

There's nothing more to say
