Subject: Lyr Add: THE ONE I LOVE (David Gray)
I suppose these are the definitive lyrics because they come from David Gray's web site:

(You're right; there were lots of mistakes in some of the versions I saw on other web sites. You can hear a complete MP3 file on this page.)


THE ONE I LOVE
David Gray

Gonna close my eyes,
Girl, and watch you go,
Running through this life, darling,
Like a field of snow.
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc,
Send a little prayer out to ya
'Cross the falling dark.

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love.

Perfect summer's night,
Not a wind that breathes,
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'Mongst the new green leaves.
There's things I might have said,
Only wish I could,
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood.

Tell the repo man
And the stars above,
You're the one I love.
You're the one I love,
The one I love.

Don't see Elysium.
Don't see no fiery hell,
Just the lights up bright, baby,
In the bay hotel.
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar,
Won't you take my hand, darling,
On that old dance floor?

We can twist and shout,
Do the turtle dove,
And you're the one I love.
You're the one I love,
The one I love.
