Broken Journey

from FAWM Demos 2019 by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

Broke the journey in an old town
no one there but a tall man
looking like he'd been working
for a time that had long been gone
and the night was awful cold

And there he rested his hands of gold
shining sweet, and shining cold
and I laid my head down beside the wall
thought I heard a wild bird call
through the night and that was all

Chorus

There's no one else will love you like I did
and no one else will give you what I did
and no one else knows how it feels
to be so lonely that you can't even hold
the broken journey, as on it goes, like I do

And I stayed a long while here
by the heat of the fire, and fear
and the gathering of clouds
outside was heavy and hard
oh there's grey inside, beneath, and above me

And when the storm it came down
it flooded the streets and then
oh I couldn't walk away any more
and on the broken journey I had to stay
can drown the streets but not the memories

And I thought that I would sometimes win
sometimes change, and sometimes sink
but I never thought that this would break
with you so gone, and the night so dark and long

repeat chorus
