Gabriel Bruce - Cars Not Leaving by Gabriel Bruce lyrics

There's a game that's always played And always won by fools But everyone I know Would rather never play than lose There's a place where the innocent stand Proud before the firing squad There's a church at the end of the path Where the sign reads "Beware of the God" And there's you in the alley And there's me walking away Those three words still hang in the air That I swore I would never say So hold on now, just hold on a minute This car's not leaving if you're not in it You've no idea how lucky we are A wound that deep would normally scar [x2] I heard there was a place where the light Managed to cut through the dark But that was just a story for children And my chest is just a grave for my heart There's a phone that's always ringing Answer and a child will say "I'd rather take my own life Than give it away" And there's you under the west wing For to hide from the rain And I'm taking your picture To be sure that I'll see you again So hold on now, just hold on a minute This car's not leaving if you're not in it You've no idea how lucky we are A wound that deep would normally scar [x2] But I've seen willows holding hands Heard birds sing in harmony The bodies of water are caressed by land And the river's mouth is kissing the sea So hold on now, just hold on a minute This car's not leaving if you're not in it You've no idea how lucky we are A wound that deep would normally scar [x2] --- .
