Lyrics
When You Found Me
(C) 2017 Michael R. J. Roth
They could've named a ghost town after me.
I should've been a hero
On a black and white TV,
Where I just stood my ground
While every falling star just fell
Like ashes all around.
Yeah, that was me.
Chorus:
And when you found me,
The ruins of my life lay all around me.
And when you came to me
I saw an angel walking on a troubled sea.
You reached into my heart
And rescued me.
In a cafe, in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
The dust and sweat of a working day
Falling off my clothes,
You walked up to me
With just a cup of coffee
And the music of a radio.
That's all I know.
(Chorus)
When I saw you in the morning light,
I knew the reason for the morning
And the meaning of the light.
When you kissed me in the dark,
I understood without a doubt
The reason for my heart
Was in your smile.
(Chorus)
