| fought against the bottle,
|
| But I had to do it drunk —
|
| Took my diamond to the pawnshop —
|
| But that don’t make it junk.
|
| I know that I’m forgiven,
|
| But I don’t know how I know
|
| I don’t trust my inner feelings —
|
| Inner feelings come and go.
|
| How come you called me here tonight?
|
| How come you bother
|
| With my heart at all?
|
| You raise me up in grace,
|
| Then you put me in a place,
|
| Where I must fall.
|
| Too late to fix another drink —
|
| The lights are going out —
|
| I’ll listen to the darkness sing —
|
| I know what that’s about.
|
| I tried to love you my way,
|
| But I couldn’t make it hold.
|
| So I closed the Book of Longing
|
| And I do what I am told.
|
| How come you called me here tonight?
|
| How come you bother with my heart at all?
|
| You raise me up in grace,
|
| Then you put me in a place,
|
| Where I must fall.
|
| I fought against the bottle,
|
| But I had to do it drunk —
|
| Took my diamond to the pawnshop —
|
| But that don’t make it junk. |
