Too long ago a broken dreamer shot herself down In broken dreams the years go fast days drag along And she says to herself, 'it doesn't really matter
Amsterdam canals Johnny Cash is never coming back Heard it on the walls, broken hearts will remember Riding into town its a heavy load keeps you right
This much I know, this much I 'll remember You held my hands and taught me how to row And I never got to tell you I love you in my way Had no words you
I'm going back in there, into the dark, going to wind my way through this broken oddysey Where you've been hiding for so long, acting like you're real
She waited like the stillness in the winter, her heart a fragment on a colour wheel Surrounded by the many shaded reasons It's not easy to be real, it
It's clouds and rain again, fog's too thick to land I'm in my head again, forgotten what we had, All the blue is washed out of the sky and hanging heavy
I'm taking down those pictures, throwing out those clothes They're reminding me of stories I can't hear again I'm ending years of making so much pain
Cruel tonight, head down I'm restless in the cold, can't wait to make it home and look away, I don't want to know whose bundled in the snow. How does
He's walking away from all they know as if the rain will make him free She's watching, to see if he'll look back, holds herself inside their sheets Lives
Burn the boats she said before you come to bed, I'll put some magic in your night Set the flames she said and watch the stormy red, we'll stand and watch
There's not much going round here any more these days Too many people counting the cost We got rock singers in gods' kingdom all piped in on a colour
I've got Jesus in my pocket, he's all I own, can't carry much when you've got no home I've been living on these streets, the dust has filled my soul,
Oh yeah the thoughts you will not speak out are crashing into your brain Words are gathering at your door Shadows sinking to start another day, Come
