You've Changed My Mind Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I'd hidden away

2 The pains of the day

3 And the strain of my eyes to see –

4 The grain of my skin

5 At the start of the end

6 Of all I once thought I could be

7 The page has been bent

8 Like an ear, and I've spent

9 Too much just to straighten a line –

10 But you've waited as still

11 As the stone of my will

12 And I know you've changed my mind

13 The beast in this room

14 Paces and moons

15 He's restless and needs to be fed –

16 He moves in for keeps

17 At the first sign of sleep

18 He groans and nuzzles my head

19 I gave nearly all

20 To building the wall

21 That could hide me forever behind –

22 But now even my doubt

23 Seems to know a way out

24 And I know you've changed my mind

25 How little I knew

26 Three that I grew

27 Was not just to root me down –

28 But might stand to wave

29 When the passing of days

30 Begged for a view off the ground

31 My faith had grown cold

32 And all I'd been told

33 Convinced me that just comes with time –

34 But a page has been turned

35 Some old fears unlearned

36 And I know you've changed my mind
