Once - Charlie's lyrics

The rain is pouring The wind is blowing And the water is raging And you, your hands are bleeding The lines are cutting And still so much work left to do The years made you tougher Not pain, not hunger Could turn you away from the sea You don't have a choice So I won't raise my voice When you wake every morning and leave And how many times did my heart skip inside my chest when I slept by the phone And how many times has this window held my breath when I'm thinking of you all alone Will you swing me around With my feet off the ground Don't ever let me go Sway to and fro, and though you don't know Whisper to me each night "I'll always make it back home" It's the fall of the year, and the skies have cleared I'm breathing a sigh of relief The winter brings comfort to this house Our number we let it one become three (?) When she was born, in the twilight of morn You held my hand as I cried Eighteen years later, three sisters we made her You looked in your daughter's blue eyes And oh, they all said that my heart made no sound When hoisted me up on the bough But I can recall a face in the squall It's the face that looks back at me now Will you swing me around With my feet off the ground Don't ever let me go Sway to and fro And though you don't know Whisper to me each night "I'll always make it back home" "I'll always make it back home" Clouds are parting, the sun is rising And the moon it still lingers past dawn Your voice in my ear I can hear it so clear says "Dinie take the wheel and hold on" "Oh you take the wheel and hold on While I swing you around With your feet off the ground I won't ever let you go Sway to and fro And though you don't know And whisper to me each night Will you swing me around With my feet off the ground Don't ever let me go Sway to and fro And though you don't know Whisper to me each night "I'll always make it back home" "I'll always make it back home"
