Looking For Something - Carrie Newcomer

There no black and white, no easy answer I’ve found

Only shades of gray on a gray on a gray background

It’s got nothing to do with your spirit it’s got everything to do with politics

It’s got noting to do with love, its only power and who’s wielding it.

I really couldn’t tell you, I really couldn’t say

How love can hold you, love transforms you, love stops away

Love will fight like two cats in the alley, or slam the door in rage

Love shines like reason in the darkness, love turns the next page

But you say you love me and you’ve loved me all along

But how can I trust my heart when it’s been so wrong

How can I believe this is not another near miss

How could I put my heart into your hands and take another risk

Chorus: I’ve been looking for some thing

Looking for something all my life

How restless how uneven the time has been until now

Though everything has brought me here, though I couldn’t tell you how

We have been alone together, we’ve been separate and complete

But how it shivers and it trembles in the place we meet

But you say you love me and you’ve loved me along

How can I ever trust my heart cause it’s been so wrong

How can I believe this is not another near miss

How can I put my love into you hands and take another risk

Chorus: I’ve been looking for some thing

Looking for something all my life

He said the one of you without any wrong could throw the first stone

And they all got very quiet and they had to slip away home

He walked right over and picked up a stone, put it in her hand and said,

«There s no one here to judge you

Here and I understand

You’ve been looking for something looking for something all your life.
