Gabriel Bruce - Cars Not Leaving lyrics

VERSE 1 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 sound meets beware of the God There's you in the alley There's me walking away Those three words still hang in the air I swore I would never say CHORUS: (x2) 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 VERSE 2 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 ringin' Answer, and a child will say I'd rather take my own life Than give it away And as you wander the west-way For to hide from the rain And I'm taking your picture To be sure that I'll see you again CHORUS (x2) And I see willows holding hands, Hurt birds singing harmony, The bodies of water's caressed by land And the river's mouth is kissing the sea (all right!) CHORUS (x2)
