lyrics

I watch the lines that intersect
Where I’ve gone and haven’t been yet
Jumping fences, placing bets
It’s hard not to give a damn

My body aches with pains unknown
My feelings fade and my conscience grows
You may send me out into the great unknown
But I’m never far from here

If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near
Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear

I was twelve years old in the Pittsburgh sun
Where time unfurled with damage done
Me and my buddies we were on the run
From ghosts who yet to haunt us

When the news came down like a hammer drop
Our freedom stripped, innocence stopped
Were fewer now than we ever thought
Still searching for a reason

If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near
Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear

Now the fog it sits on the Allegheny side
As I watch the dusk turn into night
The dark can’t wait to see first light
In awe of all her beauty

Sometimes things aren’t what they seem
The city burns in a sunset gleam
Heads all full of concrete dreams
To heavy to take their chances

If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near
Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear

If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near
Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear
