When the Truth Is...

I was drowning at the night
With the last of the wine
And my story began to unwind
So I gathered all the shards
Of a glass from the boat
And I left from 17th street for Saint Martin
You're doing this to me now
All the time
Maybe I'm tired of running away
But not tonight
I've always been lonely
And you never hear the truth
Cause the truth is there's some distance but you listen
And I keep choking my way back into your heart
Mama told me don't give up baby but
Mama lied
Baby I'm from my scattered brain
But not tonight
I've always been lonely
And you never hear the truth
Yeah I've always been lonely
And you never hear the truth
In the graveyards in the harbor
In the beer halls in the park
I've been wandering under unforgiving stars
But the spirits in my heart
Don't persuade me anymore
And my echoes off the brick and mortar walls
When the truth is there's some distance but you listen
When the truth is there's some distance but you listen
