"True Emotion" lyrics

"True Emotion"

It's Saturday evening, the breeze is so cool
I feel a shiver inside of my dress
There is so many things
They don't teach you in school
Some lessions are tougher than all of the rest

A big moon shines over the edge of the sea
On the prettiest night if there ever was one
But there ain't no moonlight inside of me
Now that you are so thoroughly gone

If I could only hear your true emotion
If I could feel your joy like I used to do
One little sign, I'd swim an ocean
If I could just find you

Remember the river, so wild and free
That sprung from your fingers so easily
Filling the hollow that swallows the rain
And carrying you home to the ocean again

Now there ain't nothin', it's dry as a bone
Everyone knows you ain't comin' home
It's more than your brothers
And sisters can bear
Do you hear us all crying and sighing
And calling and calling

If I could only hear your true emotion
If I could feel your joy like I used to do
One little sign, I'd swim an ocean
If I could just find you

Too many nights walking the floor in sadness
Someone lied about a happy ending
Too many dreams all broken now
God has spoken
And we still need you

If I could only hear your true emotion
If I could feel your joy like I used to do
One little sign, I'd swim an ocean
If I could just find you

If I could only hear your true emotion
If I could feel your joy like I used to do
Whole lotta love here and deep devotion
If I could only find ...

If I could only hear your true emotion
One little sign, I'd swim an ocean
If I could just find ...

If I could only hear your true emotion
If I could feel your joy like I used to
I got love here, and deep devotion
