Madeleine Peyroux - Damn The Circumstances lyrics

rate me

<BR>

My heart is like a hand-me-down made soft by older brothers<br>

My body's like my father's house, the sin of generations<br>

<br>

Damn the circumstances<br>

Life is hard enough<br>

Damn the bones that rattle<br>

Faith is good enough<br>

<br>

You shook the ground beneath my feet, my hopes turned into water<br>

The house came crashing down on me in the early morning hours<br>

<br>

Damn the circumstances<br>

Life is hard enough<br>

Damn the bones that rattle<br>

Faith is good enough<br>

<br>

Now the lines are drawn and we sleep in the rags and dust<br>

Where all good will has gone and the dreams we had went bust<br>

<br>

Damn the circumstances<br>

Life is hard enough<br>

Damn the bones that rattle<br>

Faith is good enough<br>

<BR><BR>
