Kelly Willis - Getting To Me lyrics

(Kelly Willis - Gary Louris)

Redemption is all I really need

Cause I've been living like a liar and a thief

They say that you spend your lifetime burning

But I spend mine just turning and turning

Chorus

And oh will it shine through

All that I've been waiting for

Living in real time

It's been getting to me

Oh will it shine through

All that I've been waiting for

Taking its sweet time

In getting to me

Love is the answer at least for some

But love is the devil when you have none

So empty your pockets and lay down your dimes

It costs what you've got and you pay every time

Chorus

So let go your mind when you're feeling it slip

And let go your heart when you're feeling it dip

Sometimes there's not much a poor soul can do

But dream of the life you've got coming to you

Chorus

Oh taking its sweet time

But getting to me
