Patty Griffin - No More Illusions lyrics

Here goes everything down to the wire I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire And the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay I apologize for rocking the boat But my heart gets caught on those lumps in my throat And these word just miss my lips somewhere along the way You and me, we got no more illusions Wildcards or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion Oh baby can we live without illusions Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight Cross the lawn and fade from our sight And the world beyond is turning like a wheel Every step we take is out of the past Everybody says "Darling, we won't last." But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel You and me, we got no more illusions Wildcards or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion Oh baby can we live without illusions I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying Or the ember is burning stronger At least by now I might be getting real good at trying Can we try a little longer? You and me, we got no more illusions Wildcards or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion Oh baby can we live without illusions Courtesy of Joesi
