Lyrics
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 will be alright
Oh, my boy, you're alive
Your heart's still beating
So, don't you die, 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"
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And 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 your candle burning in the window, I'm almost home
Mhm
