WOUNDS AND SCARS
By Patrick Power
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the dusty roads that lead to who knows where
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
But can’t find the light I need to light the way
Never saw the tears fall from your eyes
Or the clouds gathering in your skies
I was lost behind the disguise that I wear
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’ dying slowly, slowly in my dreams
I rode the rails to ease the strain
Shelter me from the falling rain
Only you can heal the pain that I feel
Night after night my dreams disappear
Lying alone here in my fear
Reaching out a hand my love to feel you near
I’ve rode these rails girl for too long
The things I said I know were wrong
So I wrote these words for you girl in this song
Baby, baby, baby I know I’m wrong
Baby, baby, baby please hear my song
I just don’t know now who I am
I’m just a fool trying to be a man
Doing what he can now girl to make things right
I lay my head ‘neath a thousand stars
Listen to the tyres of passing cars
The stars like iron bars of a prison cell
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’m dying slowly girl in my dreams
If you let me walk through your door
Lay my head on your concrete floor
I’ll give you all the love you’re looking for
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m all alone
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the lonely rails that lead to who knows where
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
You’re the light I need to light the way
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby can’t make it on my own.
