Mary Martin - Badlands Lyrics

He said "your scars, they look like flowers
But I still love you all the same"
He said "you leave my mind all scattered"
And I thought I was the one to blame
He said "your eyes, they remind me of water
The way you stare so deep and still"
He said "recite your words, I'd like to hear them all again"
And out of me the words would spill

Time and time again
We danced
All the while
Holding hands
What we have
What a strange romance
You found me deep in the badlands

He said "your heart is the only thing that fits me
Like my jacket, all worn in"
He said "your soul is the only thing that haunts me
In the dark, when it's hard to pretend"
He said "your smile, well, it feels like sunshine
The only light I'll let in"
"My heart is dark and my soul's even deeper
But I think I'll let you sink in"

I've been thinking of some things
Thoughts are leading me astray
But what if all the same things
That brought you to me
Are the same old things
That took you away
