|
Nothing 'round here to me that's sacred |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
There's nothing 'round here to me that better |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
You're the one that reaches me |
|
You're the one that I admire |
|
Every time we meet together |
|
I feel like like I'm on fire |
|
Nothing matters to me |
|
And there's nothing I desire |
|
'Cept you, yeah you |
|
Nothing 'round here I care to try for |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
Got nothing here to live or die for |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
There's a hymn I used to hear |
|
In the churches all the time |
|
Make me feel so good inside |
|
So peaceful, so sublime |
|
And there's nothing that reminds me |
|
Of that old familiar chime |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
Used to run in the cemetery |
|
And I used run and sing when I was a child |
|
And it never seemed strange |
|
But now I just pass mournfully |
|
By that place where the bones of life are piled |
|
I know somethin' has changed |
|
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
Nothing anymore seems to please me |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
Nothing hypnotizes me |
|
Or holds me in a spell |
|
Everything runs by me |
|
Just like water from a well |
|
Everybody wants my attention |
|
Everybody got something to sell |
|
Except you, yeah you |
|
I'm in love with you |
