Land of canaan lyrics

Artist  : Indigo girls 
Song : Land of canaan
 
you can go to the east to find your
your inner hemisphere
you say we're under the same sky babe
your bound to realize honey it's not that clear
i'm not your promised land oh no
i'm not your promised one
i'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
waiting for you under the sun
i'm lonely tonight
i'm missing you now
i'm wanting your love
and you're giving it out
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
well, the meanings changed
for what it's worth
it's just a senseless game
well i should think of love
but it's fear every time i hear
honey your heartbeat strain
it's not the fallen man
it's not the call of time
it's just the london skyline sweetheart
telling me you're not mine
i'm lonely tonight
i'm missing you now
i'm wanting your love
and you're giving it out
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
my blood is running dry
my skin is, my skin is growing thin
for every time you find yourself
you loose a little bit of me honey from within
it's just a raging cycle
why can't we bring it all to the end of the line
from inside this existence, sweetheart
time is not on my side
i'm lonely tonight
i'm missing you now
i'm wanting your love
and you're giving it out
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
i'm lonely tonight
i'm not your promised land
(i'm lonely tonight)
i'm not your promised one
(honey i'm trying to tell you that i'm lonely
tonight)
i'm not your promised land
i'm not your promised one
i'm not the land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
i'm not your land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
i'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
waiting for you under the sun
i'm lonely tonight
