Every Little Bit - Lyrics by Patty Griffin


Lyrics

It's funny how a morning turns a love to shame
Disguised and disfigured and you thought i tasted like rain
There`s nothing here but a shadow nothin here
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
There's nothin here but the shadow, and now you know

I spit, i spit in the eye
I tear, i tear out my heart
And i scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this i am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight i clearly recall every little bit

I can chew like a cannibal
I can yell like a cat
I even had you believing that i really really like it like that
But there was never a moment
Not a moment
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
You ever got within a hundred million miles of my soul

I spit, i spit in the eye
I tear, i tear out my heart
And i scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this i am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight i clearly recall every little bit

You left open the window till the morning
And the winter walked in
Reality fired her wooden bullet
Splintered under our skin
They say i'm walking on freedom
This is freedom
Now i know
Now i know
Now i know
Now i know
I still don't blame you for leaving,baby
It's cold living with ghosts

I spit, i spit in the eye
I tear, i tear out my heart
And i scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this i am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight i clearly recall every little bit
