Hiraeth And A Lifetime

After five state lines I would close my eyes
And rest the river's edge
But before the dawn I would sing my songs
Of missing you again
Momma my drinking aint changed
It's still two pints a day
Just enough of the rare old stuff
To drown them pains away

In my sleep I can't seem
To keep the thoughts inside my head
I toss and turn and how it burns
That soon I will be dead
Through this pain I grow
Life is now my own
And when it's done nowhere to run
What will be left to show

I know where you go
When I aint at home

Darling I walk a path that few will ever see
Though it aint right I will try
Embrace the misery
Friends have come and gone
But we just don't belong
Leave it be and we will see
If darkness brings us home

When demons cry they take the lives
From those who long for death
And if you wish a poison kiss
Until your final breath
So I'll be waiting free bound by only me
Choose a side it's lust and pride
Or love and loyalty

I can't stand another night alone
In my arms you'll always have a home

I can't stand another night alone
In my arms you'll always have a home
