Cohn Marc The Very Best Of Marc Cohn Greatest Hits

Baby baby, the time is at hand I tell you one thing that you'll understand Been a long time looking for something strong Oh baby it ain't gonna be that

the sea Saints preserve us And carry us along For we may be together in eternity My father was staring off into another world And my mother she was laying very

Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy ? won?t you

Down by the boathouse at Shaker Lake When there wasn?t nothing but love to make They were two young lovers wishing on the stars above. Well, they carved

Clouds move in From off the horizon Feels like nighttime In the middle of the day And I don?t know why But it?s still so suprisin? How a love grows stronger

Baby let?s go below the surface See what we can find There?s no reason to be nervous ?Cause it happens all the time I don?t want to go up to the mountain

Got your call from California But I could hardly hear your voice Through the hissing of the highway And all that other noise You said ?I might lose you

They say my final masterpiece Was this house upon the hill High above the great and mighty river My hand could not hold the brushes Yes I guess I lost

Tonight I cried the tears of a child Who knows what fear runs deep and wild Inside But the river?s in flood tonight I lay down and the light streamed
