Baby when I put my mind to it

I slip into another gear


And I travel in another syncopation


When all I wanna be is here with you

And





I'll be true to you cross my fingers

I'll be good to you cross my fingers


I'll be true to you cross my fingers




Sure as a snake along the river


Sure as a ghost is in the trees


There is a promise love delivers

Even though you never promised me





I'll be true to you cross my fingers

I'll be good to you cross my fingers


I'll be true to you cross my fingers




I wanna stay, 'til my thoughts are okay


'Til my motive is clear, 'cause im driftin away


>From the weight of your arms, from your soft feather bed

To a cold white line down the highway in my head





All our little tears are icicles

Hangin' on the telephone lines


And I call you up through all the cracklin' static


I swear I only hear you half the time

No matter how I try to hold you baby


You only seem to slip away from me


And then we're walkin out along the ocean

Or swimmin like the dolphins out to sea





I'll be true to you cross my fingers

I'll be good to you cross my fingers


I'll be true to you cross my fingers


I'll be good to you cross my fingers




Cross my fingers
