"Ghost River" Lyrics

I don't know about your dad
I was not the one he wished for
I just wanted to reach out for some real love

And I don't know about you
I don't know what you care for
I just know we were looking for some real love

Let me take you for a drive through the ghost towns
Take you on a trip down dead end streets
I'll take you for a ride down ghost river
There is a place that I want you to see

Oh Lord I'm done with the waiting
Yeah Lord have mercy on me
Is there a reason for me to hold on to this beauty inside you and me
Hey, you and me

I don't care about age
No I don't wanna live forever
I just want us to hold on to this love

I'm not a girl of many words
No, I don't know all the answers
But I know there is good, there is bad, and that is real love

Let me take you for a drive through the ghost towns
Take you on a trip down dead end streets
I'll take you for a ride down ghost river
There is a place that I want you to see

Oh Lord I'm done with the waiting
Yeah Lord knows I still believe
Is there a reason for me to hold on to something real

Love is not a film
Love's not a song
Love's not a painting
My love needs you working hard, needs compromise, needs waiting
Love is not a drug
Love's not for free nor can you buy it
Love is what you give
Not what you get and that's the end of it

Let me take you for a drive through the ghost towns
Take you on a trip down dead end streets
I'll take you for a ride down ghost river
There is a music that I want you to see

Oh Lord I'm done with the waiting
Hell Lord have mercy on me
Is there a reason for me to hold on to this beauty inside you and me

Love is not a film
Love's not a song
Love's not a painting
My love needs you working hard, needs compromise, needs waiting
Love is not a drug
Love's not for free nor can you buy it
Love is what you give
Not what you get and that's the end of it
