James Miller Band Song For One
Song for One (Lyrics by Kristen Henderson)
----------------------------------------------------
I could be the one who loves you
but there's already someone else.
You could be the one to save me,
but I have to save myself.
So here we sit through a hundred seasons
calculating the clever reasons
you and I could never touch,
or light the wire that awaits our love.
Here we sit against the rain, growing closer
seed by grain....
I've driven through ice storms
just to feel this safe and warm,
through blankets of blinding snow
just to be near you and then let go.
But I have never seen your eyes
behind the glow of candlelight
and you have never blessed my days
by kissing me a long goodnight.
And it's no secret I've had to pay
for being someone I am not
which isn't bad, I have a lot,
but if you think I'm waiting on
a dream, you know that isn't true--
I simply want no one
unless of course it's you.
I've driven through ice storms
just to feel this safe and warm,
through blankets of blinding snow
just to be near you, and then let go.
I have never seen your eyes
behind the glow of candlelight
and you have never blessed my days
by kissing me goodnight.
I could be the one who loves you
but there's already someone else.
You could be the one to save me,
but I have to save myself.
