there’s more to a river than water
there’s more to a fire than flame
there’s more to a prayer than longing
there’s more to a sinner than shame
laying low and wasting time
in these days of wine and regret
there’s a message in every bottle
that’s telling me to forget
ooh, that there’s more
yes there’s more
(there’s more to a river than water
more to a fire than flame
more to a prayer than longing
more to a sinner than shame
more to an ocean than mighty
more to a lover than blame
more to a beggar than wanting
more to a sinner than shame)
sleeping late and falling behind
so much for going straighter
but there are things left to remind me
that I was going to do better
ooh, 'cause there’s more
yes there’s more
there’s more to a fire than flame
there’s more to a prayer than longing
there’s more to a sinner than shame
laying low and wasting time
in these days of wine and regret
there’s a message in every bottle
that’s telling me to forget
ooh, that there’s more
yes there’s more
(there’s more to a river than water
more to a fire than flame
more to a prayer than longing
more to a sinner than shame
more to an ocean than mighty
more to a lover than blame
more to a beggar than wanting
more to a sinner than shame)
sleeping late and falling behind
so much for going straighter
but there are things left to remind me
that I was going to do better
ooh, 'cause there’s more
yes there’s more

| Rebis (Chicago) | Posted: Nov 18, 2012 - 10:30 Thanks to RP, I discovered the Audreys (through this very song). So glad I decided to by this whole disc. Every track is at least decent, many are great, and "Small Things" is transcendent. |
