Strawberry Road Lyrics

Sam Phillips Strawberry Road

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers
Under the eyes of fallen statues
Dry blood they've never seen

Pain is sharper when I suspect
The true love runs looking for us
Like a lion in our dreams

Strawberry Road where the dream fades
Is down between our longing and desire
Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love

You censor longing
And organize beauty because you're afraid
You want it more than oxygen or light

You can't get there
With your morals or without love
Lie down with me, the rules aren't always right

Strawberry Road where the dream fades
Is down between our longing and desire
Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love

Call it romance or nostalgia
They hounder behind our memories
We've buried it in code

The things we've wanted
When we get them are never enough
Never what they seem but they lead us to the road

Strawberry Road where the dream fades
Is down between our longing and desire
Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love
