The Toll Lyrics - Beat The Devil's Tattoo - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

I'd never known her to cry 

But this time is different for sure 

She's shaking with tears in her eyes 

As she picks up what's left of the night 

The hope for a reason seemed pure 

As we leave what's left on the wall 

But oh, how it's taken its toll 

Oh, how it's taken its toll 

Everything's taken its toll 

Everything's taken its toll 

There was more than a break in the smiles 

They rose and slowly they tired 

As she turned and the moments were made 

There were none that could prove where she lay 

There's a calm in the stories now told 

And the distance will always be home 

And oh, how it's taken its toll 

Oh, how it's taken its toll 

Everything's taken its toll 

Everything's taken its toll 

Everything's taken its toll 

It's a moment we carry alone 

With a cause there's a cure for the soul 

But oh, how it's taken its toll 

Oh, how it's taken its toll
