The Big One - Curtis Stigers

Come take my hand

Come walk again with me In my dreams of love

But dreams will fade

And all the plans we made

Will go up in flame

All in vain

Every story has an end

And we can’t go on pretending

Like we used to And I should go off by myself

To preserve my mental health

But I don’t choose to I might lose you

'Cause I’m

Waiting for the big one

Waiting for the ground to start to shake

Waiting for the big one

When the walls start to crumble

And love comes a tumblin' down

I never knew

I never saw the writing

On the crumbling wall

We had it all

I’ve done the best I can

Built you castles in the sand

Just to keep you

But the tide’s coming in And I’ll sink if I don’t swim

But I can’t leave you

I won’t leave you

'Cause I’m

Waiting for the big one

Waiting for the walls to start to shake

Waiting for the big one

When my heart starts to break

And the earth starts to quake

Waiting for the big one

They built this house of love

On shaky ground

Waiting for the big one

When the walls start to crumble

And love comes a tumblin' down

And all this time

I thought the world would turn

And the sun would shine

And you’d be mine

But I can’t find a trace

Of the love in your face

That I’m used to You don’t need me anymore

And I can walk right out that door

If I choose to But I don’t choose to Written by C. Stigers and G. Ballard
