lyrics

The Cross Sticks

Well I pulled out of your driveway
On a rainy Hallows Eve
Teardrops in my eyelids
And water gushin down the street

And through the cloudy window
I flashed you one last sorry smile
Babe I’ll see you but it’s gonna be a while

No it wasn’t a disaster,
I knew we both would walk away
With a head hung low
But settled on straight

Chorus: (Middle Harmony)
But the cross sticks came along (Oooooooh)
And played for me a steady song (Ooooooh)
There ain’t nothing left to do but carry on (Oooooh)

OOO, Oooh OooOooh,
Ooo, Oooh Oooohh,
ooo, ooohh

I got home and I poured myself
A straight shot of the plan
I had to leave so you could be
A better man

I guess our love was a prologue
To a riveting, good read
And we were both afraid of where
Our stories lead
But now I’m terrified of where my story’ll lead

Chorus: (Middle Harmony)
But the cross sticks came along (Oooooh)
And played for me a steady song (Oooooh)
There ain’t nothing left to do but carry on (Ooooh)

OOO, Oooh OooOooh,
Ooo, Oooh Oooohh,
ooo, ooohh (x3)
