COWBOY JUNKIES
"All That Reckoning, Pt. 1"
(Alan Anton / Michael Timmins)

I once slept
With my arms around you
My legs once bound you
And I'd wake with my heart so full of you

And then I found
That this bed was poison
That my life was frozen
And I lay afraid of ever touchin' you

[Chorus:]
I took my heart and laid it on the floor
You took my hand and softly asked for more

I once felt
That keeping it sealed inside
Would free me from the fear I hide
Of ever losin' you

And then I found
That the blooming
All that reckonin'
Had lead me back to you

[Chorus:]
I took my heart and laid it on the floor
You took my hand and softly asked for more

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
I took my heart and laid it on the floor
You took my hand and softly asked for more

Now I sleep
With my arms around
My limbs become you
And I wake with my heart so full of you
