Shake My Faith

words and music by John Eddie

Winds are kicking up
The sky is black as coal
Baby's in the doorway
Sizing up my soul
Baby you, you can't shake my faith
When your heart grows dark
Nothing makes you cry
Love tears you apart
And leaves what's mean inside
Baby you, you can't shake my faith
There's this poison on you tongue
That stops you when you wanna kiss me
Just let your dark-cloud raindrops miss me


Chorus:
I'll build a wall you can't tear down
Now I won't fall, I'll stand my ground
I said baby, nothing's gonna shake my faith
Well you can twist these words I say
You can turn and walk away
I said baby, nothing's gonna shake my faith


What was young in us just grew old and died
It stole away the trust and all it left was pride
Baby you, you can't shake my faith
Now I don't want to fight you cause it makes you strong
It testifies to something that I know is wrong
Baby you, you can't shake my faith
There's a coldness in your heart that says you only see the bad side
Well it's a sin to look at us through sad eyes


Chorus....

Now I keep looking for you
but all I see
Is some sad stranger
Shouting words of anger
It breaks my heart the way that you walk out

Chorus...
