Back To Scratch Lyrics - Charlotte Church

Down on my luck once more, out on a limb 

Over things I thought I knew for sure and you 

Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give 

what you received and you believed 

that I was yours to keep 

And I tell myself "hold on, slow down, 

girl is this me going back to scratch, again 

And oh you'll know it in the dead of night 

you're back to scratch, right back to scratch" 

Here in the heading days, love on a whim 

It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade 

Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like 

My heart is slipping thru my fingers 

Though the hope of love still lingers 

I just pray that he will find me now, today 

and wait a minute, "hold on, slow down, 

girl is this me going back to scratch, again 

and oh you'll know it in the dead of night 

you're back to scratch" 

Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on 

There's nothing else that I can do 

Suns will rise and set and rains will fall 

But when they fall on me, they won't on you 

I can't hold on to this love 

I'm going back to scratch, again 

and here I'm laying in this lonely night 

I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again 

And I can't hold on to this love, 

I'm going back to scratch, again 

and here I'm laying in this lonely night 

I'm back to scratch, right back to scratch
