All I Ever Wanted

What is a song if it's not a prayer? You can find a song anywhere Lovelorn lyrics painted on bridges Sung by rusty backdoor hinges Swung closed like a hymnal at the last refrain Haunted echo of an amen What is a song if it's not a sigh From the lungs of the young on a lonely Friday night? Finding solace in Athens tremolo Singing everybody hurts with the radio FM signal bouncing off the moon Right on time and right in tune All I ever wanted was for you to sing with me Don't leave me lonely in some minor key All we ever needed was sweet harmony What is a song if it's not a home? Calls you back to the only place you've ever really known Mama singing swing low, sweet chariot Close your eyes, let her voice come and carry ya Off to sleep in the deep dark night Your window will fill with morning light All I ever wanted was for you to sing with me Don't leave me lonely in some minor key All we ever needed was sweet harmony All I ever wanted was for you to sing with me Don't leave me lonely in some minor key All we ever needed was sweet harmony What is a song if it's not a prayer? You can find a song anywhere
