You've Changed My Mind - Bonnie Raitt

I’d hidden away

The pains of the day

And the strain of my eyes to see

The grain of my skin

At the start of the end

Of all I once thought I could be

The page has been bent

Like an ear, and I’ve spent

Too much just to straighten a line

But you’ve waited as still

As the stone of my will

And I know you’ve changed my mind

And I know you’ve changed my mind

The beast in this room

Paces and moons

He’s restless and needs to be fed

He moves in for keeps

At the first sign of sleep

He groans and he nuzzles my head

I gave nearly all

To building the wall

That could hide me forever behind

But now even my doubt

Seems to know a way out

And I know you’ve changed my mind

And I know you’ve changed my mind

How little I knew

Tree that I grew

Was not just to root me down

Might stand to wave

When the passing of days

Begged for a view off the ground

My faith had grown cold

And all I’d been told

Convinced me that just comes with time

But a page has been turned

Some old fears unlearned

And I know you’ve changed my mind

And I know you’ve changed my mind
