Marian Call - All New (Heart Shut Tight) lyrics

I dreamed this dream That's not how I ought to start a song, but tag along Sometimes the tried clichés are true And there were you, all mysterious and smooth Wrapped in riddles, worth a little scar or two So I opened up Might not be new for most of you, but listen up Some of us are more repressed than others And we try, experiment from time to time I thought I'd dream of being dreamed of Thought I'd pine -- for a time But I woke up in New Mexico, running with my palms wide open And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight I woke up over Joshua Tree, stars all poking fun of me And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight -- my heart she tried I wanna make my home in these poor bones And shake the New York lonely off of me Never you mind You are the ditch I tumbled into running blind Dropped my caution, stopped my watching, and for what? I slept right through the truth of us So don't you fret, you bear no fault, I just slipped up -- just tripped up And it's hell to pay I'm bound for Concord and I'm conquered, I'm betrayed I'll point my bleeding nose back north where I belong Rocky Mountains, point me home I really hate my coming late by what you knew all along -- It's in every damn love song -- Your rocks are colder Your coast is older But the names are all all new all new all new And I woke up under turning trees, Jersey raining leaves on me And my heart shut tight against the Orleans night I woke up on Montana roads, bleeding hard and dogged by hope And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight Oh, my heart she tried so hard to do like humans do To fall a little fall, to dream a dream or two I'll fly back across the plains again and perch a humbled spell And come back for the Maritimes when I have learned my lessons well You guard your own -- you stay awake The house makes the rules -- the house wins the game I woke up in New Mexico, running with my palms wide open And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight I woke up under Joshua Tree, 29 Palms mocking me And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight I woke up in New Mexico, I knew exactly how we'd go And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight I woke up over Joshua Tree, stars all poking fun of me And my heart shut tight, my heart shut tight, my heart she tried I wanna make my home in these poor bones And shake the New York lonely off of me
