Joe Henry - You've Changed My Mind lyrics

I'd hidden away The pains of the day And the strain of my eyes to see The grain of my skin At the start of the end Of all I once thought I could be The page has been bent Like an ear, and I've spent Too much just to straighten a line But you've waited as still As the stone of my will And I know you've changed my mind And I know you've changed my mind The beast in this room Paces and moons He's restless and needs to be fed He moves in for keeps At the first sign of sleep He groans and he nuzzles my head I gave nearly all To building the wall That could hide me forever behind But now even my doubt Seems to know a way out And I know you've changed my mind And I know you've changed my mind How little I knew Tree that I grew Was not just to root me down Might stand to wave When the pa**ing of days Begged for a view off the ground My faith had grown cold And all I'd been told Convinced me that just comes with time But a page has been turned Some old fears unlearned And I know you've changed my mind And I know you've changed my mind
