lyric of the day 1/31/08
It's been in my head all day.
You can go to the East
To find your
Your inner hemisphere.
You say we're under the same sky babe,
You're bound to realize,
Honey, it's not that clear.
I'm not your promise land.
I'm not your promise one.
I'm not your Land of Canaan, sweetheart,
Waiting for you under the sun.
I'm lonely tonight,
I'm missing you now.
I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out.
I'm lonely tonight,
I'm lonely tonight,
I'm lonely tonight.
Well the meanings changed
For what it's worth -
It's just a senseless game.
I should think of love,
But it's fear every time I hear
Your heart strain.
It's not the fallen man,
It's not the call of time,
It's just the London skyline
Telling me you're not mine.
- Indigo Girls, "Land of Canaan"
