One for the One - John Hiatt

Some women wear passion like the most recent fashion

Some women want money for love

Some leave on wishes

Some do the dishes

One is the woman that I’m thinking of of

So it’s one for the one for me

One for the stars up above

One for the night

And one for your life

And one for the woman who gives me her love

My life is a curtain

The next seems uncertain

The actor has lost is his role

The lady is waiting the man hesitating

And lovers are children afraid to grow old

So it’s one for the one for me…

Ashes to ashes the emptiness crashes

The dreamer wakes up in the dream

The journey of sorrow

Runs off with tomorrow

And rainbows are cluttered with things as they sink

So it’s one for the one for me…
