Thelma - Bonus Track

Lyrics

If a baby is born and no one complains
 Well, that's good luck
 Running through young veins
 And if life is a blessing
 That brushes the tops of the trees
 Well, it's a short walk
 In a sweet breeze
 I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
 All for the taste of your sweet love, Thelma
 If the heart is an open memory book
 That was the chance I took
 The more I searched
 The more I shook for Thelma
 Last night, I slept on a rented pillow
 A silver moon above my head
 A thirsty dreamless sleep released me
 And I reached for the phone
 By the side of the bed
 ♪
 Now the first time that I saw you, I thought
 "She's beautiful, but she's too young to be caught"
 People aware of my history
 Tryna steer you away from me
 I left a message at your hotel
 Don't let management poison the well
 I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
 All for the taste of your sweet love, Thelma
 The phone is ringing and I realize
 We are timezones and oceans apart
 The words I speak in the middle of my night
 They fall on your yesterday's heart
 ♪
 If the sun don't shine, the wind don't break
 The clock don't jump off the wall
 Thelma, my darling, I will cushion your fall
 I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you
 Without the taste of your sweet love, Thelma
 I am only a man who has skirted the edge of despair
 For a long time now and I don't care
 I watch you sleeping in the hospital bed
 The baby curled up in a ball
 Winter sunlight hits the family tree
 And everything else becomes nothing at all
