Under The Wire Lyrics

I thought my heart had seen it's last days

I gave up on giving it away

'Cause I was walking down a jilted lover's road

And there was no turning back'so I was told

No, there was no going back so I was told

Once the grip of hurting had it's hold

Those cold, shiver girls of stone

They crushed my heart and chilled my bones

It was burnt ash, black as coal

In my broken, high-heel-trampled soul

'Til there you were, like a river, babe

You carried all my blues away

Oh, your love came in under the wire

Drowned in a river of tears

I was played out beyond my years

The needle moved the record 'round the same old song

My body buried in the mud

I was almost dead, the trench was dug

I was waiting for the darkness to

Descend on me

But, while I was waiting on that goodbye train

Umbrella up, you fought the rain

You ushered me out of the cold

Baby, you saved my soul

You know

Oh, your love came in under the wire

Your love, your love, your love, your love, your love came in under the wire

Oh, your love came in under the wire
