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
|
