Tell Me Something True

Tift Merritt
Woke up beside you in the night afraid
When I was young, I was always brave
I was going where the wind was born
I don't know where that is anymore
Sometimes my heart feels so empty and mean
No blanket could warm, no water could clean
No direction on that same old wind
Could give me passage through
Tell me something true
Tell me something true
Oh I have lost my way
But when I find it, I'll bring it to you
I know about sunshine, I know about May
It doesn't always work out that way
How do you give your heart back to the world
Now that it's made a fool of you?
Tell me something true
Tell me something true
Oh I have lost my way
But when I find it, I'll bring it to you
Time's gonna come here, so remiss
He will forget my words, forget my kiss
You wanna love me, take me like this
I think the best that I can do
Is tell you something true
I'll tell you something true
Or I will lose my way
But when I find it, I'll bring it to you
I'll bring it to you
I'm gonna lose my way
I'm gonna lose my way
But when I find it, oh babe
I'll bring it to you
Tell me something true
Just tell me something true
Tell me something true
Just tell me something true
Tell me something true
Mmm mmm tell me something true
