10,000 Maniacs - A Room For Everything Lyrics

You were looking away from me,
Western skies calling you.
Colors spilling, running
Dazzling you.

I was looking the other way
Voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the trees
There planted at my feet.

It could be I'm searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve.
But how can we wait?

I wouldn't hold you back.

Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song about you
(you) and me.

Maybe that verse is yet to be found,
But waits inside of me,
A secret room a tangled web to unweave.

But how can we wait
Knowing our ways,
How can we hold on,
Still you know
Its not too late.
