Years ago, we roamed these roads Alone, you showed me places Fools of flight and shadows in the night Took us away, So I followed you down Not a sound of danger, though you were a stranger And you changed, my love, for whom you chose You changed, my love, for whom you chose We'll meet again in skies above And all my friends will keep this heart of mine Before we begin, give in, count your blessings and your sins

What do you know? The snow came early on me And as cold as you know it may be Can't help but wonder longer I'll never be a lover Tear me apart like others But as old as I know I may be There is no way to save me Shadows are turning to curse me They know what I did wasn't worth it They'll always say I deserve this Deeper and deeper it hurts me What more can you need from me? I've laid my cards down on the table So lend me your hand and we'll pray For those of you willing and able Shadows are turning to curse me They know what I did wasn't worth it They'll always say I deserve this Deeper and deeper it hurts me

Ones for the day your father left Ones for friends I should have kept Ones for the night long, ones for the way home Ones for the way you look at me Ones for the years you'd wait One for the one you'll let alone Ones for the words you'll leave at home Ones for the night long, ones for the way home Ones for the ways that we may stray Ones for the light of day Its only a case of saying you'll stay Its only a case of making my day And its not much to ask, its not much ask Its only a case of claiming your prize Its only a case of changing these skies Its not much to ask, its not much to ask Well I knew you'd make it all the way home I knew you'd make it all the way home Its only a case of saying you'll stay Its only a case of making my day And its not much to ask, its not much ask Its only a case of claiming your prize Its only a case of changing these skies Its not much to ask, its not much to ask

For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons I put you on the sleeper train Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame I hadn't held you closer Caught you again, longing for fortune and fame Well, what is a man that can't hold a word to his name? The road is calling you, I see in your face Now they tell me heaven gave you its grace And you must give your love away! Give it to a poorer man, who suffers and stands He's nothing to give in return, you've so much to learn So you'll take part of me before you rest Though kings have ruled a kingdom for less For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons I put you on the sleeper train Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame I hadn't held you closer
