Vonda, Shepard - Cross to Bear lyrics

you ran away with your conscience dear

there was a red flag waving in my ear saying

`stay away you`ve got something to fear`

well why did i not choose to hear

well i am through with suffering

gonna make better choices i don`t need no wedding ring

i can sing i can dance

but i can`t make thus feeling cease

cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

we all got our cross to bear

our star of david our dreadlocked hair

and oh yeah baby i still care

and if you need some help

you know i`ll always be there

well it`s been a strange year

you`ve been a very bad dog

as my fire went out

you`d put on another log

but it was worth never having any peace

and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

repeat chorus

some nights i thought i`d cry forever

i`d wish him away and then i`d turn into a beggar

but it was worth always scraping my knees

and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

i wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve

and i`ve got the aching love that only you can relieve

but i`m not afraid to go down with a sinking friend

i`m gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end

repeat chorus
