lyrics
I hear you calling, Lord
Calling me back home
But Lord it's not my time
Not my time to go
In that moment Lord, my burning embers fade to grey
And a lily of the valley has bowed down for to pray
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
Born to roam and dream
And wander towards the places I have never ever been
But one day hope to be
Where the pain is gone, where only love remains
To be so close and watch it slip away as I just drift from shore
Too much drinking of
And too much thinking of
And too much knowing love, much too little of
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
Now all the lights go down
You tell me "Son, it's time to go..."
To "...walk these silent side streets on my own"
But I'm too tired Lord, so deep in my bones to stare into this darkness anymore
No tomorrow
Too much drinking of
And too much thinking of
And too much knowing love, much too little of
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
Calling me back home
But Lord it's not my time
Not my time to go
In that moment Lord, my burning embers fade to grey
And a lily of the valley has bowed down for to pray
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
Born to roam and dream
And wander towards the places I have never ever been
But one day hope to be
Where the pain is gone, where only love remains
To be so close and watch it slip away as I just drift from shore
Too much drinking of
And too much thinking of
And too much knowing love, much too little of
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
Now all the lights go down
You tell me "Son, it's time to go..."
To "...walk these silent side streets on my own"
But I'm too tired Lord, so deep in my bones to stare into this darkness anymore
No tomorrow
Too much drinking of
And too much thinking of
And too much knowing love, much too little of
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
On my feet again
Lord, I was almost on my feet again
But I gave in to sin
