Selma

(Martha Davis)
(C)1985 Clean Sheets Music (BMI)

Empty touch
Reclaims too much
Died hours I cannot find
Leave me please
I can't please you
Run away from Selma nights

Caught on ever moves
Moves upset the night
Caught on ever knows
Death it feels so close

Selma sweet
You got me beat
I can't go on
Selma dear
It's you I fear
I can't go on
Selma nights
I'm lost in fright
How you make us pay
Selma friend
This is the end
Tonight I go away

Watch a friend disintegrate
On the corner while he waits
For the soul smittin' freedom
And we drink again
From the loving cup
Tears wash us clean again
Till the fears are gone
Rain takes the place of tears
Rains on and on

Selma sweet
You got me beat
I can't go on
Selma dear
It's you I fear
I can't go on
Selma nights
I'm lost in fright
How you make us pay
Selma friend
This is the end
Tonight I go away

Wanting
Praying
Is there a soul worth saving?

Selma sweet
You got me beat
I can't go on
Selma dear
It's you I fear
I can't go on
Selma nights
I'm lost in fright
How you make us pay
Selma friend
This is the end
Tonight I go away
