Indigo Girls
"Land Of Canaan"

Words and Music: Amy Ray

You can go to the East to find your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky baby you're bound to realize, honey it's not
that clear
I'm not your promised land, 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 meaning has changed for what it's worth it's just a senseless game
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 growing thin
Every time you find yourself you lose a little bit of me and, honey, it's from
within
It's just a raging cycle, I'd like to bring it all to the end of the line
From inside this existence (I'm lonely tonight), 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 not your promised one (I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one (Honey, I'm trying to tell
you I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart (I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your land of Canaan, sweetheart (I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart, waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight
