I walked through your midnight where your wild guitars would cry You spoke in smoke and poetry like thunder in the sky Your words were burning whiskey slow fire in the night But I was only asking for a little bit of your light Chorus I didn't ask for forever I didn't ask for the stars Just a little bit of your attention from that restless heart of yours But you were lost in your thunder in dreams you couldn’t control And I was standing there with quiet love too warm for a runaway soul Verse 2 You danced with every shadow every song inside your head But when love knocked softly you turned away instead Maybe the silence you gave me was the truth you couldn’t say Some hearts run from the fire when the fire wants to stay ________________________________________ Bridge (slow blues moment) Maybe someday in your music you’ll hear my whisper there The woman who loved your chaos more than she should dare ________________________________________ Final Chorus I didn't ask for forever I didn't ask for the sky Just a little bit of your attention before you said goodbye Now the night keeps your secrets aBut somewhere inside your silence I’m still part of your songnd the blues keeps my soul
