| I wait on the Emerald Isle
|
| For you to come and rescue me
|
| From every step I can’t make
|
| Feet don’t you ever break
|
| Drag me over that line
|
| Halfway around the medicine ball
|
| Is far enough to blow me back
|
| Like you broke the bank on the ticket
|
| Worth every damn nickel
|
| Well, you got me that time
|
| 'Cause I’ve been on the road one day too long
|
| Can’t hear the record for another sad song
|
| Look at all these faces
|
| Can’t all be wrong
|
| That’s a lot of my heart out there
|
| Did you fly a million miles
|
| For every single one that I ran?
|
| I don’t know which of us is crazier
|
| Oh, sweet baby
|
| That’s the madness I desire
|
| And there’s a twinkle in the Clifton sky
|
| Been there forever
|
| And lights the way for the runners
|
| The jackals and the lovers
|
| And the broken street light
|
| I’ve been on the road one day too long
|
| Can’t hear the record for another sad song
|
| Look at all these faces
|
| Can’t all be wrong
|
| That’s a lot of my heart out there
|
| So, do we keep running through the motions, baby
|
| Knowin' that one day’s gonna come maybe
|
| When you can’t keep your pretty mouth from saying
|
| I wanna go home?
|
| I wait on the Emerald Isle
|
| For you to come and rescue me |
