John Hiatt – Cross My Fingers lyrics

Baby when I put my mind to it I slip into another gear And I travel in another syncopation When all I wanna be is here with you And I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers Sure as a snake along the river Sure as a ghost is in the trees There is a promise love delivers Even though you never promised me I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers I wanna stay, 'til my thoughts are okay 'til my motive is clear, 'cause I'm driftin away From the weight of your arms, from your soft feather bed To a cold white line down the highway in my head All our little tears are icicles Hangin' on the telephone lines And I call you up through all the cracklin' static I swear I only hear you half the time No matter how I try to hold you baby You only seem to slip away from me And then we're walkin out along the ocean Or swimmin like the dolphins out to sea I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers Cross my fingers Explain Request ×
