At first, you drank my gospel
Like a mug of country wine
And now it has the flavour
Of regret and turpentine
Regret and turpentine
Regret and turpentine
Yes regret and turpentine
The lamb which lead my journey
Fell on the hardened ground
The shards of grief and mercy
Cut my feet to slow me down
My feet to slow me down
My feet to slow me down
Yes my feet to slow me down
For the future that's awaiting me
Is one I can't deny
That I will be lonely
Till the day I die
Now I'm just a strange illusion
Strumming chords and singing words
And if you like what I'm saying
Then that's your privilege and your curse
Your privilege and your curse
Your privilege and your curse
Yes your privilege and your curse
For the future that's awaiting me
Is one I can't deny
That I will be lonely
Till the day I die
I fought the war around me
The war you helped me fight
You told me you were uninjured
Hiding your battle scars from the light
Your scars from the light
Your scars from the light
Yes your scars from the light
For the future that's awaiting me
Is one I can't deny
That I will be lonely
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
