Sleep all day when you're away, stay awake at night when you're nearby Months before I'd slam the door while talking to you where I'd lie. Earlier my hands stay sore as I tap them on the key Untreated and hourly, now I'm bruise, tired, and sore Never felt so good before.
Lonley past alone when I was unknown Although I'm far from home, I'll never be alone.
Now it's late, we drift away as the silence takes over our speech In a dream with you and me as we walk so patiently Again alive, a plan, a drive, as the night becomes the ride The mourning resides inside. Here you'll always be beside, with me we will hide.
Lonley past alone when I was unknown Although I'm far from home, I'll never be alone.
Far away from the pain game, stay away... Far away from the pain game, stay away... When I saw my past die for the very first time Eye's shy, breath sigh, don't cry Catch me as I'm falling.
When I saw my past die Eye's shy, breath sigh, don't cry, don't cry Baby, don't cry. When I saw my past die, breathe. Borderline can't keep me far behind.
Lonley past alone when I was unknown Although I'm far from home, I'll never be alone.
Far away from the pain game, stay away... Far away from the pain game, stay away...
Ben Harper And The Blind Boys Of Alabama lyrics
