He got me working overtime

Caught between the reason and the rhyme

When a man like that is a man of mine

He got me tripping all over my feet,

and you know my smarts ain’t street

But a good man is hard to find

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Nobody said it has to last forever

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Sometimes things get bad 

before they get better

So he's from the wrong side of the tracks

I try not to think about that and relax

'Cause of the way he makes me feel

Yeah, I'd love to find a person who

Is perfect in everything they say and do

But you know perfection's never real

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Nobody said it has to last forever

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Sometimes things get bad 

before they get better

There’s been times when I lost my mind

I’ve been putting in overtime

Staying on my grind

You’re my star. so I’m trying to get you 

these stars that will help you shine, help you shine

These streets made me, but I leave it all behind, all behind

You know, you know

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Nobody said it has to last forever

So I'm holding on

I don't think it's wrong 

if I'm not that strong

Sometimes things get bad 

before they get better

So he's from the wrong side of the tracks

I try not to think about that and relax

'Cause of the way he makes me feel

Well, his bar sure is empty

About as empty as my heart

But those bottles look like

There’s life left in them,

And I got time to talk

You can sit down if you want to,

Throw some conversation my way.

'Cause me, I’m just drinking

Memories of better days

If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying

Stretching out the truth, 

Doing a little denying to ease my pain

I need to remember the way that he held me,

And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me

I wanna feel that rush of love again

So won't you please, please, please be kind

Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline

Well, I know beggars can’t be choosy

But tell me, who’s really choosing who?

I mean, we’re both sitting here reminded

Of lovers we once knew

Requesting their favorite songs from that bartender,

Watching their ghosts walk through that door

How come love always starts out so easy,

‘Till someone ends up wanting more

If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying

Stretching out the truth, 

Doing a little denying to ease my pain

I need to remember the way that he held me,

And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me

I wanna feel that rush of love again

So won't you please, please, please be kind

Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline

When sun comes up, I swear I’ll deal with who I am

But can I rest here on this bar chair until then?

If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying

Stretching out the truth, 

Doing a little denying to ease my pain

I need to remember the way that he held me,

And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me

I wanna feel that rush of love again

So won't you please, please, please be kind

Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline

end that you’re him

Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline

He comes along every blue moon night,
Knows I’ve been waiting like a harbor light,
welcoming home that old familiar tide
of loving and longing in vain

He’ll sail on in with the same promise in his eyes.
He’ll see through my insouciance;
He’ll see through my false pride
Knowing I traced his path of stars through time
and prayed they’d lead him back home

Isn’t it time to give it a rest?
My only crime is I’ve settled for less
I don’t know where love ends or begins,
When my love is a Vagrant of Winds

I wish, I wish that blue moon,
I wish that blue moon would change it’s colors.
So, like the season, I could change lovers
I can’t let go yet; my heart wants to forget
that a vagrant dreams only alone

Isn’t it time to give it a rest?
My only crime is I’ve settled for less
I don’t know where love ends or begins,
When my love is a Vagrant of Winds
