Morning Breaks

Whoever's dear to you, hold them close tonight
Because you never know what will come
Morning breaks and it's just you and the shakes
If you made the right decision than you're gone

Your broken promises are thrown out in the yard
How they glisten in the dawn
And in the cold you feed your fiddle to the stove
Screaming like a banshee all night long

My hands are raw
From working through the fall
Just to make my way back to you
If what it takes
Is to live out my mistakes
Then honey I will pay my dues

Hard to recall
When did this world get so damn small?
And my body so worn and used?
It's harder yet
To forgive and forget
When my memories are laced and blue

That broken record starts playing on its own
Spinning out when no one else is home
And if you listen to the end
It flips itself and plays again
All night long

It's not the songs
Or when the lights turn off and on
Or the screaming in my head that never ends
It's not your ghost that haunts me the most
But the fact that we may never meet again

My hands are raw
From working through the fall
Just to make my way back to you
If what it takes
Is to live out my mistakes
Then honey I will pay my dues

Hard to recall
When did this world get so damn small?
And my body so worn and used?
It's harder yet
To forgive and forget
When my memories are laced and blue
