From light to dawn
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain’t hard to take
Next to the weight
I carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip the scale that I’ve made
I should have stayed
But I was never wise
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
And I pray to whatever is listening things'll be all right
Oh, my boy, you're alive
Your heart's still beating
So don’t you mind, don’t you mind
We all drift sometimes
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
Knowing you won’t be back doesn’t mean that I will stop waiting
You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire
But don’t you dare hold me back
Whoa
I see your face's in the clouds that scar the night
And I pray to whoever is listening things'll be all right
Then today I wake up feeling easy
And find I’m on the more familiar roads
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
But now it ain’t so hard to let it go
So keep a candle burning in the window
I’m almost home
My feet plow on From light to dawn My empty belly and my body aches Ain’t hard to take Next to the weight I carry in my chest A pound of flesh Could never tip the scale that I’ve made I should have stayed But I was never wise I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night And I pray to whatever is listening things'll be all right Oh, my boy, you're alive Your heart's still beating So don’t you mind, don’t you mind We all drift sometimes I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house Knowing you won’t be back doesn’t mean that I will stop waiting You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire But don’t you dare hold me back Whoa I see your face's in the clouds that scar the night And I pray to whoever is listening things'll be all right Then today I wake up feeling easy And find I’m on the more familiar roads I got a darkness wrapped inside me But now it ain’t so hard to let it go So keep a candle burning in the window I’m almost home Explain Request ×
