i'll speak for myself
i don't feel like letting go
and i'm staring at the past
like i lost myself somewhere behind
i see redemption here
still i lie awake on nights like these
when the wine just leaves me numb
and the bread can't seem to fill me up
you were right. you were right.
its cold and winter is coming in
don't lie. baby, don't lie.
because i'm tired and we've been there before
when i was a boy
my heart was strong and tied to you
now my heart is drunk
and in bed with some forbidden fruit
this silence grows in me
and i can't seem to make a sound
we were lost at sea
until someone put the anchor down
you were right. you were right.
we're alone and the tide is coming in
don't lie baby, don't lie.
because i'm tired and we've been there before
you were right. you were right.
we're alone and the tide is coming in
don't lie baby, don't lie
because i'm tired
and i just want to call you my home

I spend my nights in the shadow of Lincoln,
reading his words and it sets me thinking
Can you keep a good man down with a bullet in his head?
Honey, if that's the way it goes, we're as good as dead.
I walk to the stairs where Martin once stood,
with a fire in his belly and a sharp word.
Thinking can you keep a good man down with a bullet in his head?
Honey, if that's the way it goes, we're as good as dead.
Abraham Lincoln had a Sovereign, had a son.
I see the pain in his eyes and I'm not the only one.
Martin all of my dreams are coming undone.
Jesus, save me from it all.
Jesus Christ, you've got to hold me together
Let my fears take flight light as a feather.
Can you keep a good man down with a bullet in his head?
Jesus, if that's the way it goes, we're as good as dead.

Beautiful girl, you left me like a child,
tired for you, and thinking of your eyes
If I ever get out of here you know
I'll pick you up slow
and take you with me
Somewhere in the hills, there's a light that leaves you blind
And paints the world until you begin to change your mind
If I ever get out of here you know
I'll turn myself around
If I ever get out of here you know
I'll turn myself around
(enter harmonica binge)
If I ever get out of here you know
I'll pick you up slow and take you with me
If I ever get out of here you know
I'm never coming back
Beautiful girl, you left me like a child,
tired for you, and thinking of your eyes
