10,000 Maniacs Lyrics
"A Room For Everything"

Ooh
You were lookin' away from me
Western skies callin' you
Colors spillin', runnin' dazzling you
I was looking the other way
Voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the tree there planted at my feet

It could be I'm searchin'
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where world on worlds revolve
But how can we wait?

I wouldn't hold you, no
I wouldn't hold you
I wouldn't hold you back

Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say
I was writin' a song about you, you and me
Maybe that verse is yet to be found
But waits inside of me
A secret room, a tangled web to unweave

It could be I'm searchin'
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where world on worlds revolve
But how can we wait
Knowing our ways
How can we hold on?
Still you know it's not too late

I wouldn't hold you, no, I wouldn't hold you
I wouldn't hold you back
I wouldn't hold you, no, I wouldn't hold you
I wouldn't hold you back
I wouldn't hold you, no, I wouldn't hold you
I wouldn't hold you back
I wouldn't hold you, no, I wouldn't hold you
I wouldn't hold you back
