Tracey Thorn
Dyed in the Grain
[Verse 1]
You can get far too used to sharing your time
But I'm way past caring about mine
You can accustom yourself to being on your own
But you shouldn't get used to being to alone
[Chorus]
For this is no guessing game
I love you to my shame
A love dyed in the grain
Dyed in the grain (Hey, hey)
[Verse 2]
But if loving were easy we wouldn't be here
Still slamming doors and ending in tears
As if we're so loathe to be too content
We'd rather be cruel although it's not meant
[Chorus]
This is no guessing game
I love you to my shame
A love dyed in the grain
Dyed in the grain
[Bridge]
On a bright winter's night
I heard his car pull up outside
And I was a fool, I took revenge just to cover my pride (Yeah)
When love comes by it sweeps you up
It's hard to keep your head above water
And what is love if it's not there to take the mistakes
[Chorus]
This is no guessing game
I love you to my shame
A love dyed in the grain
Dyed in the grain
[Outro]
Love you to my shame
Love dyed in the grain
Love dyed in the grain
Dyed in the grain
Love you to my shame
Love dyed in the grain
I love you to my shame
Dyed in the grain
Love you to my shame
Love dyed in the grain
Love dyed in the grain
Dyed in the grain
Love you to my shame
