Lyrics
0:35I was drowning at the night
0:39With the last of the wine
0:44And my story began to unwind
0:53So I gathered all the shards
0:57Of a glass from the boat
1:01And I left from 17th street for Saint Martin
1:12You're doing this to me now
1:16All the time
1:21Maybe I'm tired of running away
1:25But not tonight
1:28I've always been lonely
1:36And you never hear the truth
1:45Cause the truth is there's some distance but you listen
1:54And I keep choking my way back into your heart
2:04Mama told me don't give up baby but
2:09Mama lied
2:12Baby I'm from my scattered brain
2:17But not tonight
2:20I've always been lonely
2:29And you never hear the truth
2:37Yeah I've always been lonely
2:46And you never hear the truth
2:55In the graveyards in the harbor
2:59In the beer halls in the park
3:03I've been wandering under unforgiving stars
3:12But the spirits in my heart
3:16Don't persuade me anymore
3:21And my echoes off the brick and mortar walls
3:30When the truth is there's some distance but you listen
3:38When the truth is there's some distance but you listen
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
