Send Me Up A Sign
Erin Bode Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Send me up a sign before you go
Just a little like signs I'd know
Send me up a sign (Send me up a sign)
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, you're mine

Dancing all my blues away
Just a little like old songs say
Dancing all my blues (Dancing all my blues)
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, to lose

They don't know what I know
They don't see what I see
They don't comfort me
In the middle of the night
And tell me everything's all right

Send me up a sign (Send me up a sign)
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, you're mine

Send me up a sign when you get home
It's a little like throwing stones
Send me up a sign (Send me up a sign)
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, you're mine

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, you're mine





Oh, I'm yours
Oh, you're mine
