love you again

John Hiatt

I was speedinÂ? through the dark
I didnÂ?t know how far
It can all run away with you sometimes
In an empty box car
You were trying to tell me something
I wasnÂ?t listening to you
There was nothinÂ? but confusion
Everytime that train come blowinÂ? through
Then you wrote me in a letter
I donÂ?t know how your courage came
You told me what you wanted
Every word in tears and pain
How you loved me more than ever
In spite of all the hurt inside
And it cracked my heart wide open
Â?till there was no place left to hide

And I want to thank you babe
For lettinÂ? me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
I want to thank you baby
For lettinÂ? me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again

IÂ?ve forgotten how to be patient
IÂ?ve forgotten how to caress
IÂ?ve forgotten how to ask for help
And how to struggle for my best

I was harder than those iron wheels
RollinÂ? down the track
And every trip I took
I never looked to get any feelings back

And I want to thank you babe
For lettinÂ? me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
I want to thank you baby
For letting me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again

When you met me at the station
With a promise and a kiss
You said my love for you will always be true
But you must remember this
Respect me and protect me
But donÂ?t expect me not to fall
And I will do the same for you
Until the final call

And I want to thank you babe
For lettinÂ? me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
I want to thank you baby
For letting me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again

Thank you baby for lettinÂ? me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
