Melissa Etheridge - Shriner'S Park lyrics

I wonder what your doing

In the night out there

Is a sad summer breath tangled in your hair

Can you hear the lonely engines

Screaming through the town

There's no where to run

When the darkness comes down

Is there a song inside of you

That you tried to forget

Like your fake id and your mom's cigarettes

Does it take you back

Is the vision intense

You and me in shriners park

Trying to make some sense

You were just seventeen

But your laughter was mild

You liked my dreams you thought I was wild

Is there a rythm in your step now

That reminds you of a dance

Do you push it all away

Cause you never took the chance

You'd sneak out your window

When I'd come for you

Id be waiting in the street light on 8th Avenue

You'd slip into my car

We'd drive down past the fence

You and me in shriner's park

Trying to make some sense

Did you feel like you were crazy

When they sent you far away

Did no one have the answers

When you hung your head to pray

You could not let yourself dream

Never dare believe

You could ever be more

Than you were born to be

Do you lock up you house

Like you locked up your past

If I were to call

Could you free me at last

Could you slip into my car

Could we drive down past the fence

You and me in shriner's park

Trying to make some sense
