Sticks And Stones

MACKINNON/DALBELLO



Fool rain, come again, surrender yourself to me

'n pour---cool---lemonade upon me, your sweetest reverie

Sundown, promised me she'd lay down

'n mellow your will until---you---unravel me

And god knows, i've strayed behind the shadows

But---don't nobody save me, don't nobody raise me from this

Pool of pure devotion, I dive into your ocean

'till this deep sea carries me, straight to you



Sure as the stars have no shame, sure as I know my own name

I follow you and fall into...the Sweetest World



If i'm like a slow wave that takes you over

I'm gonna give way to human nature

That's all I wanna do, ea--say, like trippin' on a Sunday

Forever more when your hands, uncover me

And god knows, I swear upon an angel

Tell me that I'm crazy, but I'm such a lazy girl

Mmm, what is more delicious, than a bucket full of wishes

Don't ever keep these melodies, away from me



Sure as tomorrow will come, sure as the earth needs the sun

I follow you and fall into, with every breath you take me to...

The Sweetest...



World where I wanna go, World like I never know

Pure as an ordinary pearl, so very more than a perfect rhyme

(that's) spoken till the end of time

These words, I say, to you, from the...autumn of my...soul



With every breath you take me to, you know the very thought of you

Could make me fall with you into, the Sweetest World
