Indigo Girls
"Yield"

Words and music by Amy Ray

I was downstairs
In the green room
Waiting for you to appear
I said hello to your family
I said hello
to your friends I said hello
To the situation never yields

Now it's easy for me to tell you
That my love for you is sincere
But I once stumbled on these feelings (on these feelings)
And I once stumbled on these words (on these words)
Something you don't ever stumble on dear

Yeah you were so baroque
All those words just to tell me no
And you were so soft spoken
With all of the others
Who said you weren't broken
Oh they just let you go

Yeah you were so baroque
All of those words
Just to tell me no
And you were so soft spoken
With all of the others
Who said you weren't broken
Oh they just let you go

When you're three days down the highway
And you're looking like I feel
And it takes a lot (takes a lot)
To keep it going
It takes a lot (takes a lot)
To keep it real
Take some time (take some time)
For yourself
And learn to yield
