You drag your tigers paw across[00:00:03]
Your chapped &cracking lips[00:00:06]
And open up a crimson slur[00:00:10]
You spread each time you kiss[00:00:13]
And the broken boy you bargin with[00:00:17]
To turn back to the man[00:00:20]
That you fell in love with once[00:00:23]
But never saw again[00:00:27]
Is he in there[00:00:30]
Do you think he drowned to death[00:00:34]
Well it's his decision to show his face again[00:00:38]
You grind your tired teeth[00:00:45]
&curse the day that you were born[00:00:47]
To a sunken line of irish wives a million miles long[00:00:51]
Devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve[00:00:58]
A husband a cross to bare[00:01:04]
Worry lines &a silver string of hair[00:01:07]
Come too early come to steal your sainted youth[00:01:11]
But it's your decision to stay or else to move[00:01:19]
&I'm not a man of faith no gospel oak for me[00:01:23]
But you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs[00:01:33]
And the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go[00:01:38]
So you've got a choice to make[00:01:45]
Shut him out save yourself or sit and wait[00:01:48]
But you're waiting on a man who will not move[00:01:52]
So you must move for him and do what he can't do[00:01:59]
Cause it's worth it it's the one life you can't change[00:02:06]
And I'm sorry sister but it has to end this way[00:02:13]
Yeah it's scary sister tomorrow's just too late[00:02:17]
So stand up sister[00:02:23]
There's an albatrose to shake[00:02:28]
