Cowboy Junkies - Damaged From The Start lyrics

rate me

Here's a man of sorrows, children

As constant as the sea

Searching for a heart

That's lost it's stone.

She moves like a serpent, baby

Through time she drags her tail

Of all the broken hearted

Left behind.

Let's just sit here a little bit longer

With these bruised and battered hearts

Let's just say they were damaged

From the start.

There they go like shadows, darling

Between this world and that

Never knowing where the light

Will shine.

But I can tell you one thing, sweetheart

We share a place in time

Nothing more is needed

'cause you're mine.

Let's just sit here a little bit longer

With these bruised and battered hearts

Let's just say they were damaged

From the start.

Such a perfect pairing, dear one,

The Pacific and it's rock

A battle weighed on scales

We can not know.

Let's just sit here a little bit longer

Oh how we broke each others hearts

Let's just say they were damaged

From the start.

Let's just sit here a little bit longer

These scarred and healing hearts

Let's just say they were damaged

From the start.
