back home lyrics in person listen

 

 
 

Fifteen women in a frame
I don't know which I ought to blame
A peg & awl, it's all the same
Pouring love into the pain

The door was broken by the thieves
Possessions scattered in the breeze
I had my eyes aimed like a gun
I sat there waiting for someone

I saw the cavalry at war
I saw old Noah swing his oar
I knew the wind would not forgive
I knew the clouds had much in store

The people in the square were lost in time
Tossing their babes into the vault
My comrades failed to see the warning sign
I wondered if it had been my fault

 
 

I heard a voice and understood
Alone it longed for us to be
I saw the killer in the woods
I'm pretty sure that he saw me

They crushed the land beneath a pile of rocks
But that's another kind of rein
Outside the kingdom someone evil knocks
Tapping the drawbridge with his cane

One day I'm going to fein control
Take what I've got and make it gold
Quit wondering around this world in chains
Quit pouring love into the pain
