with the dawn came the rain put on a jacket or something that’ll keep you warm he chose to fight but never to win what hope was there what was for him ‘cause he changed drifting through the same in the same way won’t you give me more won’t you turn the lights down low but will you let me hold her i think i know you and it’s strange what’s come over me i think i know you and it’s strange what’s come over me he became unsteady but came along knows where to place his foot but not which way to turn he chose to leave but never belong so i told him be strong don’t you give me more don’t turn the lights down low but will you let me kill him i think i know you and it’s strange what’s come over me i think i know you and it’s strange what’s come over me so kick off your shoes again throw your jacket to the ground and let it soil i’m yours through i am through you came to watch over me when i was cold through i am through you came to take hold of me when i was cold won’t you give me more won’t you turn the lights down low but will you let me hold her i think i know you and it’s strange what’s come over me

because the fog was low and the streets were meeting arms i’ve been beaten now i’m not leaving home and in the second was rain she is walking but i’m no-one i feel january’s here and with me again ‘cause i’m a waste of arms and you were wasting time in my head you were better i was wrong to scurry behind so bring her safely home there may be muscles now swallowing with her ‘cause i’ll be waking up waking up cold ‘cause i’ve been waking up waking up cold and alone put on a locket and say put on a locket and bring this wine all of this evening it seemed like a waste of time and in the second you came bored and believing he seized your name i feel january’s here and talking again ‘cause there was something more and you were talking blind ‘cause this water was red i was blacked out and needed a shine so bring her name to your door throw the flowers well over the threshhold ‘cause i’ll be walking out, walking out now ‘cause i’ll be walking out, walking out now for sure so bring her safely home there may be muscles now swallowing with her ‘cause i’ll be waking up waking up cold ‘cause i’ve been waking up waking up cold and alone

said you were heavy now said you were autumn sung now that i’m feeling my way through this town born again tv tunes night on the river news walking and beating his head against mine you could say there was a better time you could bring bring me down rich again, overbored under the sun going to die empty but safe this once bona fide entrances fortified walls going to drag all these sins to the shore we could sink under the waterline you could bring me down i won’t mind said why does nobody bring grace beside you, you know i’ll always be late ‘cause something is wrong with him and something is right for some and he needs to go on said don’t have to worry now you won’t be hurting now you won’t be late bring, all this was bright and new you won’t be hurting too you won’t be late feast on the sidewalk the lady is wrong going to dine slowly when the sun comes on bust out the honey tree and flush out the fog time to move quickly ‘cause your sons have gone we could burn, fall through familiar days we could fly, fly on water and wine said why does nobody bring grace beside you, you know i’ll always be late ‘cause something is wrong with him and something is right for some and he needs to go on

i know a place where you can rest and grow when the tide is over and moving i am a believer and i’m needing to know for i left this town and made it my own son we gather sorrow here you can born out of order and unable to grow leave my weakened knees, my weakened knees behind you all out of longing and recanting he knows he won’t be wrong, he won’t be wrong again soon there will be fighting here i know so spend up we could be holy but these sins won’t ever let me go now and hold on been slipping up lately but these sins keep leaping up behind leaping up behind keep on your walking don’t need his wining hands i’ve got my cellphone and the tv news doesn’t help me stand i know a place where you can return to grow when the tide is under you and breaking i am a believer and i’m needing to know ’fore i leave, leave this town again son, now bring your fortunes here we’ll rise so spend up we could be holy but these sins won’t ever let me go now and hold on been slipping up lately but these sins keep leaping up behind leaping up behind .. keep on your walking

who’s gonna blow the whistle now who’s gonna hang his robes who’s gonna bring the wedding down it was only one it was only one it’s over now for me the evening has come bought a lighter meal heading out under the sea you were holding out you were holding out ‘cause what you need what you need is three days old and changing you were travelling blind but you felt like this would feel and somethings wrong, somethings wrong ‘cause you felt like that in the mountains you were coughing blood and not feeling worthwhile so come, what was that sound it was me breaking up losing out and falling down and gather your hands and blanket that smile i wasn’t big enough, big enough to fall behind so when your needle comes you won’t be steady armed today when something changes you’ll be heading out to say who’s gonna bury the sun now who’s gonna water the sand who’s gonna fall out and break now this heavy hand this heavy hand it’s ending now for me the morning broke bought a heavy meal heading out over the sea you were holding out you were holding out ‘cause what you need what you need is three days old and changing you were travelling blind but you felt like this would feel and somethings wrong, somethings wrong ‘cause you felt like that in the mountains you were coughing blood and not feeling worthwhile so come, what was that sound it was me breaking up losing out and falling down and gather your hands and blanket that smile i wasn’t big enough, big enough to fall behind so when your needle comes you won’t be steady armed today when something changes you’ll be heading out to say

it’s incomplete, pencil it in i’m not sure of my mother’s line chicken feeding under seems strange how he came back to see life again so far gone so far gone i can stay with you awhile so far gone so far gone i can stay with you awhile this time i’m not alone this time i’ve got to go think strong under the sand i’m not changing, i’d rather be i’m dead, holding now you can say i could climb a waterfall now I could climb a waterfall it’s incomplete, he wears an orange grin chasing back i won’t let him come somethings stronger and it seems strange how he won’t compete, he won’t be okay so far gone so far gone i can stay with you awhile so far gone so far gone i can stay with you awhile this time i’m not alone this time i’ve got to go think strong under the sand i’m not changing, i’d rather be i’m dead, holding now you can say i could climb a waterfall now I could climb a waterfall when you gonna be silent...
