Vonda Shepard - Cross to Bear Lyrics

You ran away with your conscience dear There was a red flag waving in my ear saying ’stay away you’ve got something to fear’ Well why did I not choose to hear Well I am through with suffering Gonna make better choices I don’t need no wedding ring I can sing I can dance But I can’t make thus feeling cease Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and We all got our cross to bear Our star of david our dreadlocked hair And oh yeah baby I still care And if you need some help You know I’ll always be there Well it’s been a strange year You’ve been a very bad dog As my fire went out You’d put on another log But it was worth never having any peace And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and Repeat chorus Some nights I thought I’d cry forever I’d wish him away and then I’d turn into a beggar But it was worth always scraping my knees And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve And I’ve got the aching love that only you can relieve But I’m not afraid to go down with a sinking friend I’m gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end Repeat chorus Vonda Shepard Lyrics Cross to Bear Lyrics
