Big Country - Ships

It's just how I feel at the moment....

Look at him now
Another used man
Wearing the passing of his dignity
With all the courage that he can

He stood in the storm
Carved out in stone
He said I’ve worn my honesty with pride
In everything I’ve done

So where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down

You see her now, All tired and worn
She never thought her life
Would come to be so cold or so alone
She walked in the light, Fought bondage for love
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with
But it never was enough

So where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down

Silent souls washed upon the shores
Left to walk the sands, Evermore, evermore

Look at you now just chasing your life
Make like the savior of the planet
You’re just trying to get by

Now you may walk the line
You may see it all through
But I know you cry yourself to sleep at night
Just wondering what to do

And where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down


STAIND - Epiphany

Your words they make just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
Cuz my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
Cuz I can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart

And dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

I am nothing more than , A little boy inside
That cries out for intention
That I always try to hide
Cuz i talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing isn't fear

Cuz its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
