Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid. Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid. Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame. Daddy was a-riding on the old death train.
Love no more, I have got a prayer. I ask forgiveness everywhere. Devil unseen, please stop bothering me. I've got a broken man to repair. . Brakes aren't working now.
Underneath this age is the heart of a child. It only wants to love, it begs to come alive. I want your desire, and I long for your hands. To grace me with their presence and touch me again.
He's a man in the making, afraid like a child. Who clings to all his fear. And I am his safety, the one with the love. Trying to see things clear and block his shadows.
Days go by and I'm trying to let you go. Night bears down and I'm trying to let you go. These seasons change and the ground will turn to snow. New blood, old heart still trying to let you go.
You could've been bitter, you could've hated him. You could've talked about the whiskey and the women. He could've done better but you loved him anyhow.
Cast open the window, rip down the blinds. I'm sick of hidin' from the sweet sunshine. 'Cause it ain't, it ain't gettin' me nowhere. I've been locked up in this house for way too long.
These things are always difficult between a father and a daughter. It's always very delicate, it makes it so much harder. If you look into her eyes you'll see, you've always been her world.
I see clearly, I'm on the outside. I've been watching you fall from the start. I can't believe it, how'd you get here?. I remember you when you were smart.
I used to call you mystery. I wanted to play all the parts. Beware the one who calls for me. I'll only break your heart. . The beginning's always beautiful.
I tell myself lies sometimes. Yeah, I say, he and I are gonna be alright. But he don't know me, he thinks I'm happy here. And that this big ol' dark cloud gonna disappear.
Everybody says it'll be OK. But I don't know when that day will come. Will it come?. And all my friends they're trying to take me out, set me up,. Get me a little drunk and have some fun.
17 years with a wedding ring. The saddest damn story you ever seen. 2 little kids and a good hearted man. Trying to save her if they can. . I tried myself, I cried with her.
I grew up in a town with one red light. How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night. But I slept like a baby in that bed. 'Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed.
Why are you drinkin' like the night is young?. Yeah, why are you drinkin' like the night is young?. The kids are in the bed and the day is long gone. So why are you drinkin' like the night is young?.
I think it's time you look at your own face. Can't you see you're speaking out of place. There's nothing to keep you down. You're reaching for the sky while you drown.
A memory falls down from where it was. With this confession I beg for more. I never mean to, and it's been awhile. Since I found meaning in these desires.
We are all a little crazy, we are all a little weak. And we all are very fragile when there's nothing left to speak. When there's no one left to talk to, no more tears are left to cry.
Lover, there will be another one. To hover over you beneath the sun. Tomorrow see the things that never come today. . When you see me fly away without you.
Did your lover leave you stranded. Did your heart endure the truth. Will you fight to find the healing, or will time heal all your wounds. Do you drown in your desire for a time you used to know.
