[00:00.00]IF I WERE BRAVE
[00:01.50]
[00:02.00]Sung by Shawn Colvin
[00:04.00]
[00:11.79]All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans
[00:16.62]Reminding me of when we got along
[00:21.87]They're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams
[00:27.24]And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone
[00:31.54]
[00:32.18]
[00:32.96]How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
[00:38.30]And still it is the same now I am older
[00:43.32]Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
[00:49.23]And minding less and less if I am colder
[00:53.66]
[00:54.60]
[00:54.92]But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest
[01:01.20]And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
[01:05.85]Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
[01:12.34]Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby
[01:18.36]
[01:19.06]
[01:19.33]It was never clear what would come but that's the risk and that's the test
[01:25.37]And you were the only one so far to follow
[01:30.89]And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
[01:36.82]Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back
[01:42.53]It's like you're waiting for Godot
[01:45.44]And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and Go...
[01:52.83]
[01:54.18]
[02:01.33]And what the hell is this? Who made this bloody mess?
[02:07.00]And someone always answers like a martyr
[02:12.23]Is it something you should know, did you never do your best
[02:18.65]Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder
[02:23.74]
[02:24.49]
[02:25.45]So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to New Orleans
[02:32.22]I float a mile above life's toil and trouble
[02:37.03]A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
[02:44.62]A clown to entertain the happy couples
[02:54.87]
[02:58.04]
[03:00.70]
