|
I didn't have a plan |
|
I was running from all I can |
|
Hoping to safely land in the keys somewhere |
|
With my feet in the sand |
|
But I finally made a stand |
|
When I broke down in Birmingham |
|
You kindly gave your hand |
|
And I held on tight as if you were my prayer |
|
You said "Stay with me |
|
I will help you to breath" |
|
I said "I'm not who you think I am |
|
But I'll gladly be your man |
|
In Birmingham" |
|
You took me into your past |
|
With letters and photographs |
|
You told me your father left |
|
When you were only ten and that he never came back |
|
And I saw you wave your hand |
|
As I was leaving from Birmingham |
|
You said that if I can I should come back soon |
|
I should remember that |
|
You can stay with me |
|
I will help you to breath |
|
But I said "I'm not who you think I am |
|
But I'll gladly be your man |
|
In Birmingham" |
|
And we stood face to face |
|
Outside in the pouring rain |
|
You said "don't forget my name |
|
When you find your way" |
|
"Cause you can stay with me |
|
I will help you to breath" |
|
But I said "I'm not who you think I am |
|
But I'll gladly be your man |
|
In Birmingham" |
