Wild Geese

you woke up late so you drive like hell

cause you stayed up late casting futile spells

singing lullabies that are just love songs for the one that did you wrong

til your voice was shot and your ears were tired

of hearing the same hurt up and wired

singing lullabies that are just love songs for the one that did you wrong

well is it getting harder now

to do your best when you don’t know how

to let old habits die

wild geese are gonna fly

oh it’s 2 AM and you’re crying

hell, you know you’re always crying

like you know she’ll keep on lying if you let her

like you let yourself drink poison again

like you went and lost your oldest friend

lookin for ya in the store windows passing by

oh it makes you wanna cry

because it’s getting harder now

to do your best when you don’t know how

to let old habits die

and wild geese are gonna fly

well come on and let it out

hear how crazy the words are gonna sound

you say you’re gonna love her til you die

like wild geese are gonna fly

well why is your heart so stubborn? born in late April

why is your heart so stubborn? why can’t you let her go?

why is your heart so stubborn? when’s the road gonna meet the rubber

born in April so it goes

that’s when the ground gets soft and the light gets long

and all things come back yeah they come back strong

forgive yourself for what you did wrong if it got you through the night

cause wild geese are gonna fly

wild geese are gonna fly
