Neko Case - Porchlight lyrics

So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away Days have gone by and I've barely gone Safe on the road that speeds from your front door I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes I thought in the madness my arms could not hold I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear My heart might be willing by this time next year I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away
