Lyrics - Cross to Bear by 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
Repeat chorus
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
Repeat chorus
