I've run to ground
|
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
|
I'm aching cold
|
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
|
|
And it's broke before you know it
|
Before you knew what it was for
|
All you know is you can't fix it
|
And you wish you'd listened more
|
To your instincts to your family
|
To the wisdom you'd ignored
|
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
|
I've crashed to earth
|
But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief
|
I saw your face
|
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
|
|
And it's broke before you know it
|
Before you knew what it was for
|
All you know is you can't fix it
|
And you wish you'd listened more
|
To your instincts to your family
|
To the wisdom you'd ignored
|
When you finally gonna ask us for help?
|
|
I can see you at the front gate
|
As you wait on my return
|
The years have blurred to eons
|
But the tears have never dried
|
But I'm not coming to you like this
|
So battered down and sad
|
I will take the road forgotten again
|
