98

98 - Clay Crosse

Come on and gather round

And listen to my story

About a fall from grace

A change of heart

A rise to glory

A lesson learned

A doorway I went through

Now all I know is I was born to lead

And not to follow

But the places that I led

Turned out to be so hollow

And in the end

I just turned out to be a fool

Justification would make me shine

My performance a work of art

All I ever wanted was to walk that line

But I jumped across and broke your heart

For all I've learned

The days I lived it were so rare

The dust of innocence

I scattered who knows where

And when I turned my back on you

You stood right there

And you never left me

No you never left me

These scars I have

I know they are here to remind me

That everything I've said and done

I can leave far behind me

The door is shut

And I shall nevermore return

Everybody says that your childhood dies

A little bit more every day

But all around me are mercy's eyes

And they'll keep me close to you I pray

For all I've learned

The days I lived it were so rare

The dust of innocence

I scattered who knows where

And when I turned my back on you

You stood right there

And you never left me

No you never left me

You know I came to love you as a young man

Many years ago

But now you've brought me out of harm

And I feel just like a baby in your arms

For all I've learned

The days I lived it were so rare

The dust of innocence

I scattered who knows where

And when I turned my back on you

You stood right there

And you never left me

No you never left me

No you never left me

No you never left me
