Shotgun Down the Avalanche - Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal
I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche
So be quiet tonight
Though stars shine brightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go
I love you so much and its so bizzarre
A mystery that goes on and on and on
This is the best thing and the very most hard
We don't get along
And after countless appeals we keep spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
So I let go,the catch
We are over the edge
You have left me nowhere to go
l'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Sometimes you make me lose my will to live
And I just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive yuor myself - I don't know
And l'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche
So be quiet tonight and be sure to step lightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go
And l'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
