birth day love made real

Suzanne Vega

Music & Lyrics by Suzanne Vega

one thing I know
this pain will go

step through all that s left to feel
I wait to meet my love made real

don t move don t touch
don t talk so much

strip and find the place to kneel
I wait to meet my love made real

one thing I know

this day will go

don t touch don t talk crawl the wall
she s the ticket to the future don t listen down the hall
you can say your prayer to the head of this bed
when it begins at your knees and goes right to your head

birth-day

strap me down from wrist to heel
I wait to meet my love made real

one thing I know
this day will go

shake all over like an old sick dog
there s a needle here needle there tremble in the fog
it s a tight squeeze vice grip ice and fire
she s a hot little treasure and the wave goes higher

birth-day
birth-day
