lyrics

Tonight he's gatherin' up his love
At least the bits that still exist
Stack them up, shut them off
His opened arms now display two fists
Heard that his baby she's leaving town
Found an escape, she's gonna have it
Now he's free, yeah he's free
Along with newly formed bad habits

Thought they could walk on air
These hearts of iron could not be damaged
Her skin so soft and fair
His turned to leather
This town had ravaged his soul

My dear, away our hope seemed to run
I admit that in the cold light of the sun
And the dirt that stains the hem of your dress
Leaves a trail, as all the tears you've wept
But the moment you're not homesick
Is the moment you have given up
And I'm sorry that it sounds so cruel
Wasted days when you used to love this fool

Dreamt of a woman that he used to know
Though now she wears a long black veil
One day she ran home and cried to her mother, "These romantic thoughts are doomed to fail."
"I told my baby I'm leavin' town.
Dug in his heels, he wouldn't have it"
"So now he's free, yeah he's free.
Sleeps in a bed with his bad habits."

"Thought we could walk on air
Once intertwined we'd not be damaged
We're all born blind and scared
It all depends on your reaction to the cold"

Boys tonight we are approaching the border
Ain't gonna take no orders
They held us dead in their sights
If they wanted we would bring them their fight
In the night the wind kicked up the dust
Created shapes in the spotlights
Above the chanting cries
His old words, they did rise
