lyrics

Burned That House Down

How many times am I gonna quit you? / How many times am I gonna shout out 'I'm cured'? / How many times am I gonna wake up in the morning with your sour taste in my mouth? / I still want you with my breakfast / I still want you with my lunch and dinner too / I want you two times in the evening. Darling, I wake up every night in a cold sweat about you / You were so splendid / It's no surprise to me how things ended / It's like I was compelled to disappoint you. / It's just one of them things that I do // You were the one that I could rely on / A pillow late at night that I could come home and cry upon / You were my ace in the hole in this house of cards I bet my life on / And now I've burned that house down // I thought this storm would blow over / Hell, I thought I'd learn to stand tall on my own / But you're the chip on my shoulder that I've craved ever since the day I was born / I'm so full of self-pity / You don't have to tell me that it's gotten out of control / I've been drinking since Tuesday, my head is on fire but my body's so cold / I just want to feel something / Tell myself you weren't nothing / God knows that I'm bluffing. Girl, you meant everything to me // You were the one that I could rely on / A pillow late at night that I could come home and cry upon /
You were my ace in the hole in this house of cards I bet my life on / And now I've burned that house down // My resolve is always strongest / The morning after it was weakest / The night-time is such a temptress for a born-again sinner like me.

Whilst gently paddling along this glistening river with the sun warming my back I found contentment. At a peaceful spot I set up camp and breathed in the beauty........."I think I'll stay a while" I said to myself. Thank you for this peaceful spot Mr Henderson :0) Martin Shields
