Lyrics
0:14My throat quits when I try to say
0:21How I long for the day
0:27How I wish there was a way
0:34I could see you again
0:40I wither next to my thorns
0:46I thread my tongue through the horn
0:54Arm in arm we are born
1:00Arm in arm to the end
1:06Side streets I have worn
1:13Through late summer storms
1:18I should have told you
1:23I could live without you
1:31But I don't want to
1:46My heart lifts when I sing
1:53The joy I can bring
2:00Doesn't mean a thing
2:07I want to see you again
2:13I wither next to my thorns
2:19I thread my tongue through the horn
2:26Arm in arm in arm we are born
2:34Arm in arm to the end
2:39Side streets I have worn
2:46Through late summer storms
2:50I should have told you
2:56I could live without you
3:04But I don't want to
3:19My throat quits when I try to say
3:26How I long for the day
3:32How I wish there was a way
3:39To see you again
3:45Side streets I have worn
3:52Through late summer storms
3:56I should have told you
4:02I could live without you
4:10But I don't want to
4:16But I don't want to
4:23I don't want to
My throat quits when I try to say How I long for the day How I wish there was a way I could see you again I wither next to my thorns I thread my tongue through the horn Arm in arm we are born Arm in arm to the end Side streets I have worn Through late summer storms I should have told you I could live without you But I don't want to My heart lifts when I sing The joy I can bring Doesn't mean a thing I want to see you again I wither next to my thorns I thread my tongue through the horn Arm in arm in arm we are born Arm in arm to the end Side streets I have worn Through late summer storms I should have told you I could live without you But I don't want to My throat quits when I try to say How I long for the day How I wish there was a way To see you again Side streets I have worn Through late summer storms I should have told you I could live without you But I don't want to But I don't want to I don't want to
