Touch, Feel & Lose Lyrics
i knew i was never gonna talk to you tomorrow
and oh, the birds how they sing
if you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow
'cause all i know from you is grief
but i never wanted to be your rolling train
i never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
i just wanted you to love me
i just wanted you to love me
touch, feel & lose
and cry, cry, cry
i thought maybe i could be some kind of shelter
but oh, your storm how it raged
you know your kisses, they like lightnin' and thunder
and your smile is sweet and come down like rain
i never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
i just wanted you to love me
i just wanted you to love me
touch, feel & lose
and cry, cry, cry
i just wanted you to love me, honey
cry, cry, cry
and oh, the birds how they sing
if you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow
'cause all i know from you is grief
i never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
i just wanted you to love me
i just wanted you to love me
touch, feel & lose
and cry, cry, cry
but oh, your storm how it raged
you know your kisses, they like lightnin' and thunder
and your smile is sweet and come down like rain
i just wanted you to love me
i just wanted you to love me
touch, feel & lose
and cry, cry, cry
i just wanted you to love me, honey
cry, cry, cry

I could see Janis Joplin singing this.
ryan adams can write songs like no other. this is an awesome song about lost love.
it is EUPHORIA when ryan sings "cry, cry, cry". it makes me want to break down and CRY.

I love this song. It reminds me about my love life. Its such pretty song.
Not only are they great lyrics, but Ryan always seems to match the intonation of his voice perfectly to the tone of every song he sings (but i never wanted to be your...). It's no wonder he can't help but laugh at his detractors. I wish I was cool enough to hang out with him and Adam, but alas, I'd be like Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon 3...
I've never seen a Ryan Adams concert, but I saw a live performance clip of this song, and it was GREAT! Even better than the album version. He goes all crazy and starts singing like a preacher, I swear it'll blow your minds! See the clip: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/groups/index.jsp?groups=5024902
i love when he plays this song in jamaca and all the kids sing cry cry cry...he's soo amazing!!!!!
amazing clips of him playing! AMAZING!
http://www.archive.org/details/radams2001-11-02.sbd.flac - a great live version where at one point he replaces the words "and cry, cry, cry" by "meg whi-i-ite": would this song really be directed to her?
anyway, sounds like ryan got hurt and he wishes he could've hurt her back.
and btw, doesn't the fourth line say "'cause all i know now from you is grEED"?
