lyrics

All She Ever Wanted
by Heather Bishop

All she ever wanted was a soft place to land
Pictures on the mantle, the touch of your hand
And all she ever dreamed of were the nightmares undone
White sandy beaches that nobody reaches, the warmth of the sun
‘
And all she ever wanted was the soft light of truth
Feet on the ground with the stars rolling round
And the beauty of her youth

And all she ever dreamed of was the wind in her face
Black ribbon highways and luscious green byways-
A love no man can replace

But this world ain’t about what she wanted
And it don’t really care where she's been
She can take it and break it and watch it burn down
And build it on up once again

And all she ever wanted was brilliance to shine
And she ain’t no whore just the girl from next door
Heart a remnant of a lover’s landmine
And all she ever dreamed of was the day she could say
That she paid all her dues packed away all her blues
Grabbed a coat and set off on her way

But this world ain’t about what she wanted
And it don’t really care where she's been
She can take it and break it and watch it burn down
And build it on up once again

No this world ain’t about what she wanted
And it don’t really care where she's been
She can take it and break it and watch it burn down
And build it on up once again
