10,000 Maniacs
You Won’t Find Me There
[Verse 1]
I'd like to know what makes you stay
While your eyes still search for escape
You think that I don't feel the cold
But I wait while confessions unfold

[Chorus]
You'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there

[Verse 2]
You won't find me where you hide
And that makes us a matter of time
Like trees exposed by fall, baby
Time reveals it all

[Chorus]
You'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there
Ah

[Verse 3]
Tell me you want to do everything
But you're stuck up to your knees
And I'm less likely pushed forward by ambition than a breeze
But there's a flame that must be fanned, baby
And it appears as a beckoning hand
[Chorus]
Don't think 'cause you're not talking you're being kind
You've been getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there
You won't find me, ah there
You won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there
Ah you won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there
