Artist: Mary Black Album: Circus (1995) Title: Looking Forward
Lyrics Looking ForwardI never cared about the car I'd drive
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd ride
Just as long as I could get somewhere
And not get hurt I could breathe out there
I knew I could be free out there ... could be me
I never cared about the word prestige
About no inside track or no noblesse oblige
Just as long as I could pay my way
And pull my weight and say my say
As long as I could pay my way ... I could say
[Bridge:]
I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions
I would not make my stand
I the house of corrections
Now I can see at last I see that everything is changing
And if you want to hold on fast the future needs arranging
[Chorus:]
Now I'm looking forward to you
Now I'm looking forward to you
My former view was backward
My backward view as blue
Now I'm looking forward to you
Love had a weight designed to bring me down
My hands would sweat and my heart would pound
Now I've learned it and I've turned around
And I hanker for that anchor sound
I hanker for that anchor sound
Once designed to bring me down
[Repeat Bridge & Chorus ] |
