When my blood runs warm with an old red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
And when I hear the sound of the blackbird's cry
I know I left in the nick of time
Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far-off land
So let me ride the wind 'till I don't look back
And forget the life that I almost had
If I wander 'till I die
May I know whose hands I'm in
And if my home I'll never find
Then let me live again
CHORUS x 2
The longer I run then the less that I find
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again
Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my saviour comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul
CHORUS x 2
