Why do I bother, that's what you say
And I know you're tired but don't fade away
It's been a long year, it's been a long day
You can't remember when it was not that way
When everything was okay
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love there
You door was open
And your love was left
Now all that you want is to burn the rest
But if your heart is open
Some love will come back
I know you don't believe me I can see you light a match
I can see you light a match
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
I'm not trying to say you got no right to complain at all
What I'm saying is I believe in you and I will not believe
That everything is lost
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
You're gonna find your love in there
And I know you're tired but don't fade away
It's been a long year, it's been a long day
You can't remember when it was not that way
When everything was okay
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love there
You door was open
And your love was left
Now all that you want is to burn the rest
But if your heart is open
Some love will come back
I know you don't believe me I can see you light a match
I can see you light a match
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
I'm not trying to say you got no right to complain at all
What I'm saying is I believe in you and I will not believe
That everything is lost
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
You're gonna find your love in there

either this is on a CD I've been listening to a lot lately or you've been playing this often, but obviously if I can't remember where I'm hearing it, it doesn't move me that much.
funny, i thought it was a pretty good song
(and Catie Curtis is 10X better than Shawn Colvin who irritates the shit out of me)
Great passion.
I liked her better when she was called Shawn Colvin, and even then I didn't like her much.
New to me - itsok, would want to hear more - and I can be a sucker for a slide guitar so my gaurd is up
:-)
