lyrics

I’ve outstayed my welcome on this earth
the very day my mama gave birth
she didn’t even hold me by the heel
when she dipped me into the stream
down the icy river I was flung
an immortal boy with a weak set of lungs

there must be someone down in here
who know just how it feels
come and gather ‘round the fire
down a sea of failure
you sailed your leaky boat
come and gather ‘round the flame

I have been a slave of every sort
I’ve worshipped the devil
and I bowed to the lord
sat silent on a hill for forty years
they still talk about it there
all I ever wanted was freedom
I’ve been around the whole wide world
I couldn’t find me none

there must be someone down in here
who know just how it feels
come and gather ‘round the fire
up the hill and down again
you roll your heavy load
come and gather ‘round the flame

I roamed the edges of this cage
I finally came upon its golden gate
all I had to do was unlock it
fumbled for the golden key
I had inside my pocket

it’s gone
I swear it was there
now it’s gone
it’s gone
It has always been there
now it’s gone
