My feet plow on
From light to dawn
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain´t hard to take
Next to the weight

I carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip the scale that I´ve made
I should have stayed
But I was never wise

I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
And I pray to whatever is listening things´ll be all right

Oh, my boy, you´re alive
Your heart´s still beating
So don´t you mind, don´t you mind
We all drift sometimes

I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
Knowing you won´t be back doesn´t mean that I will stop waiting
You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire
But don´t you dare hold me back

Whoa…

I see your face´s in the clouds that scar the night
And I pray to whoever is listening things´ll be all right

Then today I wake up feeling easy
And find I´m on the more familiar roads
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
But now it ain´t so hard to let it go
So keep a candle burning in the window
I´m almost home
