The Engineer s Dying Child - Johnny Cash

I perfect day that know it's true

but I guess nobody has to tell you

I don't always listen and I talk too much

I think I'm in tune when I'm out of touch

Baby

Don't tell me I've done it again

There's a tear on your face

with my name on it

And at this moment it must be hard to see

But I am not the enemy

Lay your defenses down

I'll put my arms around you

Put your arms around me

Baby I'm on your side

Someday I'll get it right

How can I make you see

I'm not the enemy

I don't call when I'm comin' home late

And there's three little words

that are hard for me to say

I'm not so good at all those little things

But baby I am not the enemy

Lay your defenses down

I'll put my arms around you

Put your arms around me

Baby I'm on your side

Someday I'll get it right

How can I make you see

I'm not the enemy

Lay your defenses down

I'll put my arms around you

Put your arms around me

Baby I'm on your side

Someday I'll get it right

How can I make you see

I'm not the enemy

Lay your defenses down

This ain' no battleground

How can I make you see

I am not the enemy
