Proof Lyrics

Soon our fortunes will be made, my darling And we will leave this loathsome little town Silver bells jingling from your black lizard boots, my baby Silver foil to trim your wedding gown
It's true the tools of love wear down Time passes, a mind wanders It seems mindless, but it does Sometimes I see your face as if through reading glasses And your smile, it seems softer than it was
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say, ''No man, that was not The deal we made, I got to go, I got to go'' Faith, faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes Proof is the bottom line for everyone
My face, my race Don't matter anymore My sex, my check Accepted at the door
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say, ''No man, that was not The deal we made, I got to, I got to go'' Faith, faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes Proof is the bottom line for everyone
Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling And the sky is flecked with signs of hope Raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby Wash your tangled curls with gambler's soap
Proof, some people gonna call you up Tell you something that you already know Proof, sane people go crazy on you Say, ''No man, that was not The deal we made, I got to, I got to, I got to'' Faith, my faith is an island in the setting sun But proof, yes My proof is the bottom line for everyone
But proof, yes Proof is the bottom line for everyone But proof, yes Proof is the bottom line for everyone I said, "Proof, yes Proof is the bottom line for everyone"
