lyrics

Between now and then seems like such a long long time
I’d duck beneath the radar and sneak across that line
I’d stop off in St Albans, then up to Montreal
I’d make pretend I didn’t know what was being bought and sold

Now I’d met a lot of strange folk in this dirty game
One was so evil I won't even say her name
She had me from the first time around
She held me so sweetly as she pinned me down

And it felt so real, it felt so right
All we ever did was eat and drink and fuck and fight
Then the deal it got thin she turned me in
I ‘d duck beneath the radar and was on the road again

Now I’m strong of muscle, strong of will
But I’m weak of the heart on top of that hill
Up there one could rule for miles around
But humble is the man who walks back down
The road is rough; it’s hard to see
Got to slow down the pace, have some faith in destiny
I hear these sirens calling me
Amongst the wingless in unbridled clarity

So I dip my head in holy water, tip my crown of thorns
And stumble down off that hill with the cross I was hung on
Now and then I drift back in time
And think about the love and lust that I left behind

And its goodbye gun goodbye rose
Hello to that virgin land where I belong
I hear these voices calling me
Amongst the wingless angels in perfect harmony
