10000 Maniacs You Won`t Find Me There Lyrics

You Won`t Find Me There Lyrics

[ 10,000 Maniacs & Jules Shear ]

I`d like to know what makes you stay 
while your eyes still search for escape. 
You think that I don`t feel the cold, 
but I wait while confessions unfold. 
You`ll never make a living from reading minds 
or from getting your direction from exit signs. 
Look into your heart and you won`t find me there. 
You won`t find me where you hide 
and that makes us a matter of time. 
Like trees exposed by fall, 
time reveals it all. 
Tell me you want to do everything 
but you`re stuck up to your knees. 
And I`m less likely pushed forward by ambition than a breeze. 
But there`s a flame that must be fanned, 
and it appears as a beckoning hand. 
Don`t think `cause you`re not talking you`re being kind, 
you`ve been getting your direction from exit signs. 
Look into your heart and you won`t find me there.
