The Wooden Sky - When Lost At Sea lyrics

We were arrested on Aberdeen With empty hands and mouths to feed So I put my hands up and begged release And now Julia it seems that our honesty was brief We were lost when we left our homes We were high again and we went out to score I soon found myself at your brother's door And I'd pondered all the rent Well I ain't been back there since I woke up on my hands and knees The night was cold and I began to see That I'd pinned myself to another name that had sold me out before And had never shown remorse So many years now I've been bought and sold I told myself I'd take the higher road So I dressed myself in your brother's clothes And I walked across his hands I left nothing up to chance
