POWER OF TWO

Indigo Girls

Now the parking lot is empty

Everyone''s gone someplace

I pick you up and in the trunk I''ve packed

00:28.50A cooler and a 2-day suitcase

''Cause there''s a place we like to drive

Way out in the country

Five miles out of the city limit we''re singing

And your hand''s upon my knee

So we''re okay

We''re fine

Baby I''m here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

(I''m) stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We''ll look at them together then we''ll take them apart

Adding up the total of a love that''s true

Multiply life by the power of two

You know the things that I am afraid of

I''m not afraid to tell

(And) if we ever leave a legacy

It''s that we loved each other well

''Cause I''ve seen the shadows of so many people

Trying on the treasures of youth

But a road that fancy and fast

Ends in a fatal crash

And i''m glad we got off

To tell you the truth

''Cause we''re okay

We''re fine

Baby I''m here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

I''m stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We''ll look at them together then we''ll take them apart

Adding up the total of a love that''s true

Multiply life by the power of two

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation

(Make new friends)

Something new instead of something old

(But keep the old)

All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface

(But remember what is gold)

And it''s fools gold

(What is gold)

Fools gold

(What is gold)

Fools gold

Now we''re talking about a difficult thing

And your eyes are getting wet

I took us for better and I took us for worse

Don''t you ever forget it

Now the steel bars between me and a promise

Suddenly bend with ease

The closer I''m bound in love to you

The closer I am to free

So we''re okay

We''re fine

Baby I''m here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

I''m stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We''ll look at them together then we''ll take them apart

Adding up the total of a love that''s true

Multiply life by the power of two
