Oh, I don't know why She treats me so nice When I spend my time Tellin' all these lies And I see my face When I close my eyes With an empty space Where there was a smile Oh, it feels so wrong Stringin' her along But I got no heart To tell her to go And it's such a drag To be stuck this way When I'd rather be Some place far away I can't break the news That I'm movin' on 'Cause she'll just refuse To give up on us So I'll leave at night And she'll wake alone But I know it's right 'Cause I'll be long gone And in the mornin' She won't find a thin' Just that empty space Where my spine had been But when the ground dries And the clouds depart She will realise That I got no heart

I would never like to go back home I would never like to go back home There's a woman here When I see her my breath disappears I would never like to go back home The mornin' sun it makes me smile The mornin' sun it makes me smile I ain't got a lot of money But I'll get by, I tell you somethin' The mornin' sun it makes me smile And when I lay down to die Oh, when I lay down to die There'll be a smile on my face I know I have seen this place Oh, when I lay down to die Oh boy, I know I drink too much Oh boy, I know I drink too much I fall asleep in someone's room And wake up in the afternoon Oh boy, I know I drink too much And when I'm walkin' down the street Oh, when I'm walkin' down the street I don't mind if he hills are steep I smile at everyone I meet When I'm walkin' down the street And when I lay down to die Oh, when I lay down to die There'll be a smile on my face I know I have seen this place Oh, when I lay down to die And when the evenin' rolls along Oh, when the evenin' rolls along I go trudgin' home But I don't mind just where I go When the evenin' rolls along I would never like to go back home I would never like to go back home There's a woman here When I see her my breath disappears I would never like to go back home And when I lay down to die Oh, when I lay down to die There'll be a smile on my face I know I have seen this place Oh, when I lay down to die

Winter 05:06
I can tell that winter's gone I will raise up brave and strong I'll be leavin' 'fore the sky turns blue No more tears for you I can tell you somehow No more shadows for me now The sun has returned to me, I know No more wadin' through the snow I can finally breathe again Like a time, I remember when The sun has returned to me, I know No more wadin' through the snow
4.
There's a thing inside my brain Makes a man go insane I can see all the beauty Of the world if we were free It's time to leave It's time to go Time to leave this world we all know Oh, it's time to go
