The Damage |
| So you found me at the end of my life |
| By the bend in the river at dawn |
| Have you come to my aid, are there deals to be made |
| Red lines in the sand to be drawn |
| Now that you’re here, pray tell me, my dear |
| Why it is you’ve come to my door |
| By virtue of sin, should I let you in? |
| I can’t say you’ll suffer no more |
| So they tied you to the stake in your heart |
| And they taught you to treasure the pain |
| To keep you in place they lied to your face |
| And bought you with measured disdain |
| And now that you’ve seen your part in the dream |
| You’ll need to be lost to belong |
| The story that ends before it begins |
| Means nothing is written in stone |
| Once there was a time I might have |
| Been for you a guiding light |
| Cross my heart and hope to die |
| A thousand needles in my eye |
| The damage is already done |
| When it’s over as soon it must be |
| Please mention my name to the wind |
| The trouble I see for you and for me |
| Is nobody wins in the end |
| I was once as young and wild |
| As you, my dark-eyed woman-child |
| How I spend my days in dread |
| Is how it is I’ve made my bed |
| I can’t teach or preach or reach |
| Beyond this bell we both know well |
| The damage, the damage |
| The damage is already done |
