Broken Wagon

Day’s gone by, sky’s gone grey

Bottle’s dry, hell to pay

“You’re alive!” screams the phone

“Help!” I cry to dial tone

Always calling my name so clear

Leave me no excuses at all

Stay close, Holy Ghost

I fear that I’m bound to fall

Free from this broken wagon

Blood flows thick, patience thin

Needle prick drop of gin

Smell of fear, taste of pain

I can hear those tears

Like distant rain

Twisting my arm around

Never one to accept the blame

Straight to the ground, face down

As I fall in shame

Free from this broken wagon

Attach the hitch, I’ll grab the reins

No matter which excuse

Explains the way I feel

Cause I’m the only one

To rectify the damage I have done

It’s mine alone

It’s mine alone

It’s mine alone
