Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs |
|
He was calling to me at the time |
|
And i knew even then, i could die for the thoughts |
|
That i kept in the back of my mind |
|
But i dared not to speak |
|
How i felt for my dad |
|
Cause there were no words to define |
|
The ball of confusion, of feelings and stuff |
|
That i kept in the back of my mind |
|
So i took to the highway |
|
And i kept to myself |
|
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find |
|
Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist |
|
All this stuff in the back of my mind |
|
So i took me a job |
|
And i took me a wife |
|
And i took me a bottle of wine |
|
And it did not take long, 'til all i had left |
|
Was this junk in the back of my mind |
|
Well the end of the tunnel |
|
It never came up |
|
'til i came to the end of the line |
|
And i saw that the light i'd been hoping to see |
|
Was just a spark in the back of my mind |
|
And the cold wind that blew |
|
Through the hole in my heart |
|
Made a fire for the very first time |
|
From some branches of trust |
|
And a kindling of faith |
|
And that spark in the back of my mind |
|
Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train |
|
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind |
