Barefoot McCoy Riddles on my Heart (feat. Alli Dayhuff) lyrics

With a child's eyes, always asking why
Caught up in a world that's so black and white
But when the men get quiet…
You can hear them crying

If the black bird sings in the night
And the white dove sings in the day
Can we meet in the middle on
A sunny shade of gray?

Not too close to the light
But maybe gettin' far from the dark
It's a pretty crazy life with all these
Riddles on my heart

Always drawing lines, looking for a fight
Never taking time to see another side
But if you close your eyes...
You can hear them crying

If the black bird sings in the night
And the white dove sings in the day
Can we meet in the middle on
A sunny shade of gray?

Not too close to the light
But maybe gettin' far from the dark

It's a pretty crazy life with all these
Riddles on my heart

And the hearts are hard
Shut and closed and barred
Is it time that we all head back to the start?

It's so cut and dry, it's so wrong or right
Never even try to set aside the pride
But when the world is silent...
You can hear them crying

If the black bird sings in the night
and the white dove sings in the day
Can we meet in the middle on
A sunny shade of gray?

Not too close to the light
But maybe gettin' far from the dark
It's a pretty crazy life with all these
Riddles on my heart

It's a pretty crazy life with all these
Riddles on my heart
