The Sign Of The Southern Cross - If You Find Yourself Looking Back Тексты

Damn the youth I had, for it wasted on myself
My disillusioned passion was an impoverished sense of wealth
The painted rust I would become traded the sunrise for the sunset
Call it kitsch but, darlin', this is all that I have left

Baby, if you find yourself looking back
Know there ain't nothin' here to keep you off track
Baby, if you find yourself looking back
I pray you can see the good beyond the path I poisend with the virtues that I lack

In the end you start to feel the beginning at last
The sour sting to the throat as I drink down the past
And I shouldn't waste your time with the musings of long gone
But I say this as a man who's learned the burden of what he's done wrong

Baby, if you find yourself looking back
Know there ain't nothin' here to keep you off track
Baby, if you find yourself looking back
I pray you can see the good beyond the path I poisend with the virtues that I lack

Now you're just a memory, a flash point in my mind
And I the 'once burned' lesson to you and your loving kind
I sent you away, but now like a dog I bay at the moon if only to put a whisper in your ear
The sand ot time turn to diamonds as can a bittersweet memory from tears

Baby, if you find yourself looking back
Know there ain't nothin' here to keep you off track
Baby, if you find yourself
Looking back
