Bluesy Revolution
Hootie And The Blowfish · Musical Chairs [1998]
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you
We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through
And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true
I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew
Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing that I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
When the end is all I see
And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
Cause your wanting me too
Don't listen to
The others answers
Our love is not new
