sheryl crow - abilene



cant you see im holding your flag

the one that you left on the ground

well is the world too heavy for you

if it makes you feel better, ill carry it, too

no ones gonna stand in your light

impressions are easy to fight

but until you turn to me and say

you dont need anyone to carry the weight, i will stay



abilene

bring it on home to me

abilene

isnt it good to be free



cant you see im earing your shirt

the one with the heart on the sleeve

everyone can see youve been hurt

but honey dont give up on me

when you gonna make up your mind

when you gonna get out of bed

well everyday youre gonna find

broken promises are no worse than words never said



then you want someone to come along and save the day

well you make it much too hard
