Atlas Songtext
von Martha Redbone

Duh-duh, duh-duh

Takes the world on his back
Says he′s a man, he can handle it
There ain't nothing he won′t do
He's the boss, got the plan
Yeah, he's every man

Takes his love from a woman
More than he can use
But I don′t mind it
He don′t know what he's doing
Now he′s searching
What will he find
When he looks inside?


I wish that you already knew me, yeah
I wish that we could make a pretty day
Oh, atlas, when you need me, I'll be right there, yeah
You wish that you had never needed me
You hate that I can read your mind
Oh atlas, don′t you know it? (Atlas, don't you know it?)
I′ll be right there

Says he's more than a handful, a one-man show
But he's thirsty for the water there this morning
Got your warning, gonna make your move
Got the world on your shoulders, pulling it, pushing me for clues
I refuse to cry, don′t know why
I′ll never say goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, bye)

I wish that you already knew me, yeah
I wish that we could make a pretty day
Oh, atlas, when you need me, I'll be right there, yeah (atlas, when you need me, yeah right there)
You wish that you had never needed me
You hate that I can read your mind
Oh atlas, don′t you know it? (Atlas, don't you know it?)
I′ll be right there (right there, right there)

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Atlas, when you need me)
Be right there (be right there, right there)


You wish that you had never needed me
You hate that I can read your mind
Oh atlas, don't you know it? (Atlas, don′t you know it?)
I'll be right there

An angel comes to hold you
Fill your heart with lonely lies
And days that bring the sun to wipe away the tears you hide

Baby, do that, do you
And baby, get right through you and love all your hurt away
If you let me, me

You're perched in the morning light
Counting all my blessings now
I could be your child, oh
Lead me to your world I′ll follow

And baby, do that, do you
And baby, get right through you and love all your hurt away
If you let me

And show this love
Oh, they rarely pass you by
Gift from the past
That brings you all I feel inside
Let time erase your fears, my dear
So you can open up your eyes
And I might need someone like you
Don′t stop the dream
'Cause this dream is mine

Oh, baby, do that, do you
And baby, get right through you and love all your hurt away
If you let me, me

If you let me baby, let me
If you let me baby, yeah
If you let me babe, let me baby
If you let me babe, let me baby
If you let me, if you let me baby
If you let me in your heart, let me in your mind
Let me in your soul, I′m making you feel fine
If you let me baby, let me
If you let me baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
