Shawn Colvin - Someone Like You

Someone Like You

I'm wearing thin
I couldn't tell you the city I'm in
The streets and the buildings
And places I've been
Or when the stars go when it's daylight again
Or where the time went
Oh, who can save me now?

My life in the rearview
I'm runnin' from Jesus
Don't know where I'm going to
I got nothin' to lose
I'm fightin' my demons
Been lookin' for someone like you
I've been lookin' for someone like you

So sing me a song I know all the words to
And I'll sing along
Could you be my savior?
I've been out here too long
And I've just been lookin' for somewhere to belong
Been holdin' on
So can you save me now?

My life in the rearview
I'm runnin' from Jesus
Don't know where I'm going to
I got nothin' to lose
I'm fightin' my demons
Been lookin' for someone like you
I've been lookin' for someone like you

When the stars explode
And I'm all alone
When they start to see the smoke
When I finally burn out
I'll need someone to carry me home
Safe and sound

My life in the rearview
I'm runnin' from Jesus
Don't know where I'm going to
I got nothin' to lose
I'm fightin' my demons
Been lookin' for someone like you

My life in the rearview
I'm runnin' from Jesus
Don't know where I'm going to
I got nothin' to lose
I'm fightin' my demons
Been lookin' for someone like you
I've been lookin' for someone like you
I've been lookin' for someone like you

Shawn Colvin - These Four Walls

I'm gonna die in these four walls
I've had enough and I've tried it all
I'll watch the day break and I'll see the night fall
In these four walls

Show me trouble I'll take him down
I drew a line on this patch of ground
Everything's safe and everything's sound
In these four walls

Up on the rooftop
I can remember
Borders I had to break
Now I can see I have this life
To make (to make)

I'm gonna miss your southern drawl
A baby's footsteps in an empty hall
And every little thing I can ever recall
In these four walls

Up on the rooftop
Feel like you're flying
Thinking your heart could break
Oh can't you see we have this love
To make

I'm gonna die in these four walls
I've had enough and I've tried it all
I'll watch the day break and I'll see the night fall
In these four walls 

Shawn Colvin - Shotgun Down The Avalanche (with Alison Krauss)

S. Colvin - J. Leventhal

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche


So be quiet tonight the stars
shine bright
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into
the void
You have left me nowhere to go


I love you so much and it's so bizarre
A mystery that goes on and on and on
This is the best thing and the very
most hard
And we don't get along


After countless appeals we keep
spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
So I let go the catch and we are
over the edge
You have left me nowhere to go


I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche

Sometimes you make me lose my will
to live
And just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will
to forgive
Forgive you or myself, I don't know


I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche


So be quiet tonight be sure to
step lightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into
the void
You have left me nowhere to go


I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
