Lyrics: A Room For Everything
Album: Love Among the Ruins
Artist: 10000 Maniacs
 

Oooooh…

You were looking away from me
Western skies calling you
Colors spilling, running, dazzling you
I was looking the other way
Voices call from the East
I saw my roots of the trees there, planted at my feet

It could be I’m searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve

But how can we wait?

I wouldn’t hold you
No, I wouldn’t hold you
I wouldn’t hold you back

Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song
About you, you and me

Maybe that verse is yet to be found
But waits inside of me
A secret room, a tangled web
To unweave

It could be I’m searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve

But how can we wait
Knowing our way
How can we hold on
Still, you know it’s not too late

I wouldn’t hold you
No, I wouldn’t hold you
I wouldn’t hold you back
I wouldn’t hold you
No, I wouldn’t hold you
I wouldn’t hold you back

I wouldn’t hold you
No, I wouldn’t hold you
I wouldn’t hold you back
I wouldn’t hold you
No, I wouldn’t hold you
I wouldn’t hold you back
