I feel I’m coming round the bend
Is the taxi to the airport a beginning or an end?
I realize as I board the plane
6 years on medication
Nearly every cell’s changed

Take the scapegoats out to pasture
If you’re really, if you’re really their master
Set the Godforsaken flock free
They’ll come home if it’s where they need to be

Oh God, the boy is trying to make his amends
He’s done the work to fix it and he tried to find an end
But fear is here, the seed a tree
And now the field needs a fence
The front door to my parents house is my last defence

But I’ll take the scapegoats out to pasture
If I’m really, if I’m really their master
Set the Godforsaken flock free
They’ll come home if it’s where they need to be

Ooo - I’ll never touch the skyline
Or meet the horizon cause the car keeps on driving
Ooo - I’m coming home now
The sun’s always rising is what I’m realizing
Cause if I’ve pushed you away it was me I betrayed

So I’ll take the scapegoats out to pasture
If I’m really, if I’m really their master
Set the Godforsaken flock free
They come home if it’s where they need to be
You will see

Little kid you’re really lucky you still got time
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I got all the time to wander back
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I keep watching wheels fall off the track

Car fire
with you tearing down my street
Even though you were whispering softly
head down
For a minute of relief
You should know you keep killing me softly
Dead dog lying cold in the tall reeds
Guns down with the prophecy complete
Double down
With your fists on the high keys
Even then you were whispering softly

Someone told me that a promise is a knife fight
Buzz you in everytime’s like the first time
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I got all the time to wander back
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I keep watching horses turn the track

Car fire
with you tearing down my street
Even though you were whispering softly
Head down
For a minute of relief
You should know you keep killing me softly
Dumb luck and the buckle of your knees
3-4 with the prophecy complete
Froze up
With your palm on the high beam,
Even then you were whispering softly

(Outro)
Dragging it up
You drank from the cup
In the hotel lobby
lucky in love
You should know better by now
Dusk is coming on

Lighting candles, burning sage Turn my bad curse to good days, to good days Finding new words just to say All the old things that don’t change, they just don’t change …

Irish Goodbye

I need some advice From somebody who loves me Someone who’s been here before I’ve been rolling dice Been taking my chances But the stakes aren’t as low as before I think …
