Backroads - Lonely The Brave

Saw things that the rat saw

And my eyes couldn't take them in

Just want to fall here silently

Into the arms of people I love

Under waiting stars as the ships come rolling in

But look at the way the faces turn

Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)

If you be the sky then I'll be the bird

But look at the way the faces turn

Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)

If you be the sky then I'll be the bird

So the power lines were leaning

And all was lost

Make a vow with the city lights

With your fingers crossed

You said I'd be a place and time

Said I'd be a man

Making eyes with a sea of lies

So you understand

That you're raping on my dreaming

And you're ruining my best made plans

The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you

The wake is calling what you gonna do

But your head's gone

And it won't be long

The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you

The wake is calling what you gonna do

But your head's gone

And it won't be long

So the sinners stopped and the villains turned

And I'll be the sky and you be the bird

Let's meet the mountains and see what they heard

And I'll be the sky and you be the bird

And I'll be the sky and you be the bird

And I'll be the sky and you be the bird

And I said I'll be the sky and you be the bird

And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
