Edie Brickell - Bright Star~If You Knew My Story Songtexte

Alice
If you knew my story
You'd have a hard time
Believe me, you'd think I was lying
Joy and sorrow never last
I'll die trying not to live in the past

If you knew my story
My heaven and my hell
If you knew my story
You'd have a good story to tell

I left my clothes on that cold river rock
My cares and my woes rolled up in my socks
I laid down in that mountain stream
And the icy water rushed over me

If you knew my story
My heaven and my Hell
If you knew my story
You'd have a good story to

Tell me
I'm not alone
Tell me
I'm not alone

Many backs have broken from lesser weight, I know
I was born to carry more than I can hold
Even though I stumbled
Even though I fall
You'll never see me crumple
You'll never see me crawl

If you knew my story
Drew my water from the well
If you knew my story
You'd have a good story to

Tell me
I'm not alone
Tell me
I'm not alone

Even though I stumble
Even though I fall
You'll never see me crumple
You'll never see me crawl

If you knew my story
