There was a time,

I was a rebel,

I had a temper,

In my Bones.

The wicked hand,

That dealt me jokers,

A single magpie,

Dressed in gold.




She always fly’s away from home,

She’ll always be my northern star.




It’s gonna take a miracle,

I’m shallow and I’m cynical,

It’s gonna take a miracle,

Reciprocal, unbearable.

But breathlessly I hope to feel.




You say our love is spoken silent,

You’ll never guess who we told,

Is that a mark on your shoulder?

That makes you older than your years.




And Now we are running on our own,

God Knows where we’ll be.




It’s gonna take a miracle,

I’m shallow and I’m cynical,

It’s gonna take a miracle,

Reciprocal, unbearable.

But breathlessly I hope to feel.




We’re un-armed but we’re dangerous,

And we’ve been fighting all our lives.

And I’ve been asking what is wrong with us,

And I’ve been waking up with lies.







It’s gonna take a miracle,

I’m shallow and I’m cynical,

It’s gonna take a miracle,

Reciprocal, unbearable.

But breathlessly I hope to feel.

Hey hey hey

Take me all the way round and bring me back again

The growing space between the lines

A correlation of my mind

Im falling on out and now you're fading

You're chugging on like a rollin' train


No I don't mind

Come and take a little piece of my life

Keep me with you while your riding

On that eastbound railway line

You know I'm tired

Don't you worry if you leave me behind

That old lonesome road

You know it aint no friend of mine


Hey hey hey

Heal my love for you now and head on back my way

The ever changing state of mind

If you look then you will find 
I'm heading on out to where it's raining

Your chugging on like a rollin' train


No I don't mind

Come and take a little piece of my life

Keep me with you while your riding

On that eastbound railway line

You know I'm tired

Don't you worry if you leave me behind

That old lonesome road

You know it aint no friend of mine
