Lyrics
When You Found Me
© 2017 Michael R. J. Roth
They should’ve named a ghost town after me
I could'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:
When you found me
The ruins of my life lay all around me
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)
