Birthday Song - Indigo Girls[00:00:00]
Like the lottery[00:00:01]
And I'll make you feel like you've won[00:00:02]
And I'll bet the next time you see me[00:00:02]
In a world of partial truths[00:00:02]
You will fully believe me[00:00:02]
I have nothing to give except but to live[00:00:03]
Like the person you know me to be[00:00:03]
Life is short and so on[00:00:03]
I'd like to give you something to go on[00:00:03]
Grow on[00:00:03]
They recently paved the walk on our street[00:00:03]
We looked at the shiny cement[00:00:04]
We stopped the car ready to carve[00:00:04]
Our names into permanence[00:00:04]
For a moment we're kids[00:00:04]
Intent on a whim[00:00:04]
There is no shadowy past[00:00:04]
But even so the urge is to go[00:00:04]
And put something down[00:00:04]
That will last[00:00:05]
So here goes[00:00:05]
The next time I show up for you[00:00:05]
You will know[00:00:05]
And believe[00:00:05]
I am ready to give[00:00:05]
Ready to live[00:00:05]
Like the person you know me to be[00:00:05]
I couldn't think of a thing to write[00:00:33]
On your birthday card[00:00:41]
Considered the poets[00:00:50]
But they didn't know what[00:00:56]
Lay quite inside my heart[00:01:03]
I thought of Atlanta[00:01:18]
I thought of Toronoto[00:01:26]
And all of the places we've been[00:02:06]
I filled up my tea and looked into the trees[00:02:08]
And still came up empty again[00:02:12]
So I guess the next time you see me[00:02:14]
In a world of partial truths[00:02:17]
You will fully believe me[00:02:19]
I have nothing to give except but to live[00:02:29]
Like the person you know me to be[00:02:33]
I can clean up the kitchen[00:02:39]
And fold up your clothes[00:02:42]
Neatley as I am able[00:02:46]
Wrap a box up with ties for a surprise[00:02:50]
And order you flowers for the table[00:03:02]
I could book us a trip[00:03:15]
On a plane or ship[00:03:24]
I know how much you love the sun[00:03:38]
You could gamble on me[00:03:59]
