lyrics

I saw a hole in the sky, I saw an angel in black
I reached for the shining light, then I pulled it back

Doesn’t matter how you thought things were going
Ain’t got time for the way things went
Your standing on the tracks and there’s a freight train coming
There’s no turning back (then)

Don’t look in your lovers eye and ever feel regret
We’re all walking a crooked mile and wearing every step

Doesn’t matter how you thought things were going
Ain’t got time for the way things went
Your standing on the tracks and there’s a freight train coming
There’s no turning back (then)

And silver tongued devils try to cover your eyes
As the saints just sit in the dark
The players/sinners/drivers want their fair share
Paid full in broken hearts

They say true love conquers all
(Never seen it, though I’ll believe it)
And the mighty never fall
(never seen it, though I’ll believe it)
You got to choose your own path
(I’ve seen it so I’ll believe it)
Once you choose there’s no turning back, no turning back

I saw a hole in the sky, I saw an angel in white
She turned her back on me and faded from sight

Doesn’t matter how you thought things were going
Ain’t got time for the way things went
Your standing on the tracks and there’s a freight train coming
There’s no turning back (then)
And silver tongued devils try to cover your eyes
As the saints just sit in the dark
The players all want their fair share
Paid full in broken hearts
