lyrics

I’ll wish you all the best luck that you ever have in the world
Row 22, aisle seat, taxiing, I really start to hurt,
Winds blowing from the south,
Just too close to ever be home, but I don’t want to be anywhere else

When you’re sleeping in the morning I’ll be working through the night,
Another bar, same old town, a thousand different ways to pad it out,
And I seem to make it work,
As I close my eyes, inhale smoke, you awake to find your day about to start

And we’re banging on the door, crying God please let us in
Where nothing is just given, there’s a fight for everything
And it’s raining in the city, so I’m thinking southern climes
Listening to your distant voice calling through the wire

This life I’m living honey it’s a hard old way to go
Money’s tight, days are long, it often seems like no-one wants to know
But I’m not complaining now
It’s one thing to live your life apart, another to give up on who you are

I’m just one more player on the river, on the river on my knees
Just one more player crying God won’t you help me please

So I’ll say goodbye and leave you I don’t mean it as it sounds
I know you’ll be alright out there, don’t worry about me honey, I’ll be fine
Just a few more weeks to go,
Then I’ll be coming home to your arms until when I’m bound to go

And we’re banging on the door, crying God please let us in
Where nothing is just given, there’s a fight for everything
And it’s raining in the city, so I’m thinking southern climes
Listening to your distant voice calling through the wire
