We Never Had Much Lyrics

Mother always made my bed for me
and held me close when I fell out of the tree

Father gave me a hammer and let me try
but as far as for the nails he said 'those are for you to find'
Brother made me proud and I won"t forget
I was mean but you know I didn"t mean it

And my friends were my friends, you know who I"m talking about
those others were just kids I would hang around

We never had much but we never needed
still I always needed something that needed me

and I had my doubts but who"s immune to that
I like to think that I fought back when I was up against the wall
but I"m not sure I always did
who ever is?

I don"t want your wishing well
and I don"t want your heaven or your hell

I don"t want my heart to bleed all out
and I don"t really want these things to think about

Silver sand Summer and honey lips
and an Autumn kaleidoscope, and a warm eclipse
and a soul hollowed flute, and a marble grace
those are the places I allow my time to waste

We never had much but we never needed
still I always needed something that needed me

and I had my doubts but who"s immune to that?
I"d like to think that I fought back when I was up against the wall

but I"m not sure I always did
who ever is!?
