Sandi Thom - Belly of the Blues lyrics

Oh how I love a heart that aches So drown me in despair Going down to the shadow Where the clock strikes 8 Follow me if you dare I don't know why I can't explain No matter how I try It's a losing game Take me to the cross I bear I will hang my head and cry Hang my head and cry I was born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues I was born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues Oh how I love to feel the pain So drown me in my tears Going down to the halls Where the darkness waines Feels the same after all the years As cold as the wind and as wild as the sea The tides that turn around in me Just like the sun carries the moon My hungry soul will sing My hungry soul will sing

I was born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues I was born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues Every step I'm gonna take Feels like the levee's gonna break Every corner that I turn Every that I have burned Every time I wage my bets Feels like the last chance that I'll get Every day is pa**ing by Hear the devils turn and cry Every step I'm gonna take Feels like the levee's gonna break Every corner that I turn Every that I have burned Every time I wage my bets Feels like the last chance that I'll get Every day is pa**ing by Hear the devils turn and cry Born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues I was born I was born I was born in the belly of the blues
