Live 21 Apr 2005 version
[Spoken intro:] Well in life and in love, when you're moved to create and to destroy. And uh, ???, before anything starts working. And uh, this is the story about somebody just trying to get there, just trying to get to that place.
I wanna build me a house, on higher ground
I wanna find me a world, where love's the only sound
High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt
I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out
With Leah
La la la la la...
I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof
As Leah
La la la la la...
Whoaaa
Whoaaa
I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give
I got a life I wanna start, yeah one I been waitin' to live
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer
I open the door, I climb the stairs
La la la la la...
The above lyrics are for the live 21 Apr 2005 performance of LEAH at Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ, during the first public rehearsal show for the Devils & Dust Solo Acoustic Tour.
