Reachin' - Alabama 3

When I get burned out so bad in Brixton

That I just could not remember my name

You took a lease on some basement down on Josephine Avenue

'til I got better and you forgot how much I changed

I got healed in the heart of the city

Bad medicine was good enough

Still you bleed through my veins like an express train

You’re the one hit I never could give up

'Cos you said to me

When you’re falling apart again

Nobody to pick up the pieces

I’ll turn on the lights and hold your hand tight

And together, yeah, we’ll keep on reaching

We were holed-up and cold in the rockhouse

Plastic gangsters, sweet blessed company

I was talking Jackson Pollocks, walking Tony Soprano

You said, 'Baby, it’s time to leave'

But I left alone, stumbling stoned into the sunrise

Looking left and right for all the wrong connections

Baby, hit me one more time, you can hit me one more time

'cos I know you’ll never let me go under

So wherever I am for the winter,

Your summer smile will keep me warm.

Autumn leaves falling, baby,

I’ll keep walking till the springtime flowers bloom.
