Static on the Radio
Lyricist:Michael Pratt
Three a.m., I'm awakened by a sweet summer rain Distant howling of a passing southbound coal train Was I dreamin' or was there someone Just lyin' here beside me in this bed? Am I hearing things or in the next room Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?
And I know (It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead) And I know (It's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said) And I know (Only fools venture where them spirits tread) 'Cause I know (Every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head)
Is just static on the radio, static on the radio (Static on the radio, static on the radio) Static on the radio (Everything I think I know is just static on the radio) It's static on the radio (Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)
Midnight rendezvous with a pretty girl Wearin' a torn and tear-stained gown Like a ghost ship, she appeared from nowhere On a lonely highway and flagged me down
I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station And in the flicker of the neon lights She kissed me goodbye And in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflection
And I know (The blind will sometimes lead the blind) And I know (Through shadow lands and troubled times) And I know (Forsaking love, we seek the signs) And I know Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com (Of truths forever hid behind)
Is static on the radio, static on the radio (Static on the radio, static on the radio) Static on the radio (Everything I think I know is just static on the radio) Static on the radio (Everything I think I know is just static on the radio)
There is a church house 'bout a stone's throw down From this place where I been stayin' It's Sunday mornin' and I'm sittin'' my truck Listening to my neighbor sing
Ten years ago I might have joined in But don't time change those inclined To think less of what is written Than what's wrote between the lines?
'Cause I know (Dreams are for those who are asleep in bed) And I know (It's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead) 'Cause I know (For all my ruminations I can't change a thing) Still I hope (There's others out there that are listening)
To the static on the radio, static on the radio (Static on the radio, everything I think I know is just static on the radio) Static on the radio (Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees)
Static on the radio (Listening for the song behind everything I think I know) Static on the radio, static on the radio, static on the radio, oh (Everything I think I know is just static on the radio) Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
What did you say?
