lyrics

Ran out of miles
Ran out of miles to carry me
Ran out of miles to carry me
Now it's wishful thinking down on Bitter Street

Started with nothing
Started with nothing that's all I needed
Started with nothing that's all I needed
But that nothing gave me one good beating

If I had known the winters were so long
If I had known the bitters were so strong
If I could see through your eyes looking back at me
Then I wouldn't be so far and so gone

I got a letter
I got a letter that made me mad
I got a letter that made me mad
It said don't drink the water, 'cause the water's gone bad

The other night
The other night when the lights went out
The other night when the lights went out
It was to dark to see or turn yourself around

Chorus

Once the world has picked me clean
You can have whatever's left of me
Once the world has picked me clean
You can have whatever's left of me

If I had known the walls would be so tall
If I had known that I would grow so small
If I could see the bitter side of me then I wouldn't be
So far and so gone...
