Only in Songs by Simone Dinnerstein and Tift Merritt Lyrics
Sometimes this world's face is so cold and hard
I can't find a place for what’s in my heart
Where beauty is patience, dreaming is right
No need to cover the sweetness inside
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
I guess the blues, that's where I belong
If that's only in songs
Where money has nothing so loud to say
Where power is something you just give away
Where God is nobody a few people own
To fill you with shame when you're feelin' alone
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
I guess the blues that's where I belong
If that's only in songs, only in songs
Where risk is not foolish, where safety is vain
Where people believe things can really change
The night is falling dark as a bruise
You wonder aloud, could someone love you
All the way through
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
This world is no place I care to be alone if that's
Only in songs, can't be only in songs
I can't find a place for what’s in my heart
Where beauty is patience, dreaming is right
No need to cover the sweetness inside
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
I guess the blues, that's where I belong
If that's only in songs
Where money has nothing so loud to say
Where power is something you just give away
Where God is nobody a few people own
To fill you with shame when you're feelin' alone
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
I guess the blues that's where I belong
If that's only in songs, only in songs
Where risk is not foolish, where safety is vain
Where people believe things can really change
The night is falling dark as a bruise
You wonder aloud, could someone love you
All the way through
Only in songs
Is that only in songs?
This world is no place I care to be alone if that's
Only in songs, can't be only in songs
