lyrics
When I found you down by the river’s edge
You were clutching you anger like a baby to your breast
Then I said that I just didn’t care
But I was lying thru my teeth and I know that’s not fair
Then I made a break for the spotlight and the stage
Somehow strangers’ faces seemed to ease me and placate
But then the words to the verses wouldn’t come
So I stood there feeling naked while the amplifiers hummed
Oh when it comes to loving
I know you’ve got me covered
But I’m going off the rails again
And I’ll roll with the undiscovered
And I fold in with a band of brothers
When I’m going off the rails again
You can send you’re letters in the mail
And I’ll read them in the evening like I’m pulling back the veil
On a world so vivid and so real
I’m under you great spell again at least that’s how it feels
Oh when it comes to loving
I know you’ve got me covered
But I’m going off the rails again
And I’ll roll with the undiscovered
And I fold in with a band of brothers
When I’m going off the rails again
Now Carridwen you’re with me once again
Wadding in the water and we’re up to our chins
I see you smile and I know that grin
And I tell you all my secrets and the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
You were clutching you anger like a baby to your breast
Then I said that I just didn’t care
But I was lying thru my teeth and I know that’s not fair
Then I made a break for the spotlight and the stage
Somehow strangers’ faces seemed to ease me and placate
But then the words to the verses wouldn’t come
So I stood there feeling naked while the amplifiers hummed
Oh when it comes to loving
I know you’ve got me covered
But I’m going off the rails again
And I’ll roll with the undiscovered
And I fold in with a band of brothers
When I’m going off the rails again
You can send you’re letters in the mail
And I’ll read them in the evening like I’m pulling back the veil
On a world so vivid and so real
I’m under you great spell again at least that’s how it feels
Oh when it comes to loving
I know you’ve got me covered
But I’m going off the rails again
And I’ll roll with the undiscovered
And I fold in with a band of brothers
When I’m going off the rails again
Now Carridwen you’re with me once again
Wadding in the water and we’re up to our chins
I see you smile and I know that grin
And I tell you all my secrets and the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
And the healing will begin
