Top 15 Lucinda Williams Quotes

When you go, you let me know
If there's a Heaven out there.
When you leave me here to grieve
In pain and despair,
I've seen the face of hell.
I know that place pretty damn well.
But when you go, you'll let me know
If there's a Heaven out there.

Open up the doors of heaven and let me in.
I think I'm finally tired of living, let me in.
I'm going to walk into glory,
Tell everyone my story.
So open up the doors of heaven and let me in.<p>I've tried to live my life the righteous way.
I tried to do my best from day to day.
But no matter how hard I try,
Seems all I do is cry.
So open up the doors of heaven and let me in.

There's a place in my heart,
I got room to spare.
There's a place in my heart,
I made room for you there.
Even though you make me blue,
I've got room enough for you.
No matter what you do,
I want you to know that
You have a place in my heart.

Sometimes the best intentions are never truly met,
And all your expectations are never what you get.
You’ll never say why, or come up with a reason;
You’ve been weakened by a string of bad decisions.

You will never cop
To the damage that's been done.
You will never stop
'Cause it's too much fun.<p>Now you want somebody to be your buttercup.
Good luck finding your buttercup.

I found the love I've been looking for.
It's a real love, it's a real love.
Standing up behind an electric guitar,
It's a real love, it's a real love.
And all the time I was thinking no way.
And all the time I never thought I'd say
I found the love I've been looking for.
It's a real love, it's a real love.

I would rather suffer sweet silent solitude,
Deathly defiant from drowning out.
Filthy sounds stumbling, ugly and cruel
Between the lips of your beautiful mouth.<p>Deep down within me words move in phases,
Frozen and still until they decide
To melt and drip over the pages,
Until that moment they live inside.

Are you alright?
All of a sudden you went away.
Are you alright?
I hope you come back around someday.

You don't have to prove
Your manhood to me constantly.
I know you're the man can't you see?
I love you, righteously.

I would risk the serpent's bite.
I would dance around with seven.
I would kiss the diamond back,
If I knew it would get me to heaven.<p>'Cause I want to get right with God.
Yes, you know you got to get right with God.

I am waiting here for more.
I am waiting by your door.
I am waiting on your back steps.
I am waiting in my car.
I am waiting at this bar.
I am waiting for your essence.

Sun came up it was another day,
And the sun went down you were blown away.
Why'd you let go of your guitar?
Why'd you ever let it go that far?
Drunken angel.

Not a day goes by I don't think about you;
You left your mark on me, it's permanent, a tattoo.
Pierce the skin and the blood runs through,
Oh my baby.

Just a shakin' in my knees, just a cold chill.
Don't know what it is, just call it a thrill.
Just a lump in my throat, just hot blood.
Don't know what it is, some call it love.

There are things about you that make me wanna scream and shout.
There are things about you that make me wanna lock you out.
But there's a little thing that drives me wild,
Something that happens every time you smile.
I can't get over the lines around your eyes,
Lines around your eyes every time you smile.
