Cross to Bear - Vonda Shepard

You ran away with your conscience dear

There was a red flag waving in my ear saying

«Stay away, you’ve got something to fear»

Well why did I not choose to hear?

Well I am through with suffering

Gonna make better choices I don’t need no wedding ring

I can sing, I can dance

But I can’t make thus feeling cease

Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

We all got our cross to bear

Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care

And if you need some help

You know I’ll always be there

Well it’s been a strange year

You’ve been a very bad dog

As my fire went out

You’d put on another log

But it was worth never having any peace

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

We all got our cross to bear

Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care

And if you need some help

You know I’ll always be there

Some nights I thought I’d cry forever

I’d wish him away and then I’d turn into a beggar

But it was worth always scraping my knees

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve

And I’ve got the aching love that only you can relieve

But I’m not afraid to go down with a sinking friend

I’m gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end

We all got our cross to bear

Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care

And if you need some help

You know I’ll always be there
