Lyrics One for the One - John Hiatt

One for the One

Some women wear passion like the most recent fashion
Some women want money for love
Some leave on wishes
Some do the dishes
One is the woman that I’m thinking of of
So it’s one for the one for me
One for the stars up above
One for the night
And one for your life
And one for the woman who gives me her love
My life is a curtain
The next seems uncertain
The actor has lost is his role
The lady is waiting the man hesitating
And lovers are children afraid to grow old
So it’s one for the one for me…
Ashes to ashes the emptiness crashes
The dreamer wakes up in the dream
The journey of sorrow
Runs off with tomorrow
And rainbows are cluttered with things as they sink
So it’s one for the one for me…
