The Rodchester Kings - The Jangolier lyrics

Here is not where I want to be The night sky no longer sets me free And this road seems to go on forever The future bleak as tomorrow is never Tonight I will tell all my tales again Tonight I will wish that all this would end Don't start if you haven't 'cause you cannot win Truth is it just gets darker from here on in Sing me a song But sing it to me straight this time I have no use for Deception within your rhyme Sing me a song About what life should be Maybe I'll remember What it once meant to me The darkened hand rose over the same old strings The broken voice goes over the same old things She once loved him but now she has gone away But she promised him that she would come back someday Just lie if you know that the truth will hurt Or just try and with all of your love a**ert And maybe this time, unlike the times before You can hold on to something that you adore The jangolier wanders the day alone A captive to his fear a walking ghost as cold as stone Like clockwork he does all that he knows how And when he left this place he left with a crooked bow Here is not where I ought to be All this time looking for Someone to comfort me I find it funny That you can walk the world without a care And after all that time You haven't gone anywhere
