It seems that I'm the lucky one.
Because the sun broke through the clouds.
And then My hands, they ceased to shake.
And All My Nerves? They Calmed down.
My bones, they grow.
My bones, they grow and they grow.
Lover! Lover!
Who have I become?
A Smile on a man burying his only son.
Honest, I never thought that I'd become a smile on a man burying his only son.
Girl, take off that dress till the bed it meets your back.
Prepare to be impressed with the cherry picking I lack.
My bones, they grow.
My bones, they grow and they grow.
Lover! Lover!
Who have I become?
A Smile on a man burying his only son.
Honest, I never thought that I'd become a smile on a man burying his only son.
Lover! Lover!
Who have I become?
My bones, they grow.
My bones, they grow and they grow

Blinded men. Empty Pockets. See what you've done.
Bleed to world. You're a cancer in the earths lungs.
Oh yes I'll give you my hope. But, I'll withhold my faith.
I was never sold that the clouds held more than the rain.
Oh my compass was graced to me from my parents guide.
I dont need black robes and mysteries to feel devine.
Yet I sleep with clean hands.
There'll be no red marks on my door.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms.
When I close my eyes, a miracle place.
Wasnt sold by the lies of pearl on gates.
Where I exist, dont live, for admission in.
And I'm led by sheep. Oh where, where have you been?
Yet I sleep with clean hands.
There'll be no red marks on my door.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms.
I'll go home when I'm bones.
To be in loved ones arms, be in my Mothers arms x2

Make a western move to align the divide between hearts.
I know that there's things that you're giving up.
Those home streets where you laughed till the summer sun went down.
To find yourself in a place you dont know your way around.
This is a town where we dont sleep.
We all just wait.
Close your eyes while I'm away.
I'll keep you warm and keep you safe.
There's always light in the darkest days.
Sweetheart, there are bubbles still flying with sparks.
Because I know, yes I know its been keeping you up.
And Daisy, you have nothing to worry about.
I'll be holding your hand if your face it hits the ground.
This is a town where we dont sleep.
We all just wait.
This is a town where we dont sleep.
So please, just wait.
Close your eyes while I'm away.
I'll keep you warm and keep you safe.
There's always light in the darkest days x2
This is a town where we dont sleep.
We all just wait.
Close your eyes while I'm away.
I'll keep you warm and keep you safe.
There's always light in the darkest days x2

I signed my name on lines before I was old enough to spell it right.
Too young to go? You're never too young to feel old.
I'll be home before the Christmas lights.
Made a man before my time.
Too young to go? You're never too young to feel old.
I cant believe that you made it home tonight.
I cant believe that you made it home.
We all were young men once on foreign shores.
But Now we're all hung up our guns. Our guns. x2
My possesions stuffed in a bag. Home comforts and photographs.
Too young to go? You're never too young to feel old.
I'll be home before the Christmas lights.
Made a man before my time.
Too young to go? You're never too young to feel old.
I cant believe that you made it home tonight.
I cant believe that you made it home. x2
We all were young men once on foreign shores.
But Now we're all hung up our guns. Our guns. x2
We all were young men once. x8

Your hell is my home
I cuddled into my guns on cold nights at Bastogne
Held a line I just couldn't hold
My fingers went numb
The sun looked beautiful whilst reflecting the sun to belie how I'm held in holes
I gazed on your house from the White and even when the lights were out it looked warm
Would I trade my place?
To lie south of righteousness and rub my shoulders with nothing but guilty men
Right now I bet they don't feel their shame
Chorus
How can I know peace when we've got men sleeping in dirt under trees, how can I believe in you?
Sweetheart, I'm safe but I'm scared and I think about you every day
But clasped hands, forgive me if I've lost my faith
My fingers, they've went numb and I won't write again
If I never switch this pen for gun
So sleep sweet while I sleep in holes
Chorus
How can I believe, how can I believe, how can I believe in you?
