Left For America - Ciaran Lavery

[00:19.07]Lay me on my back a little
[00:21.77]An' put my hat on my head
[00:24.95]Cause I want to sleep out with the stars
[00:28.12]Not in the dark with the dead
[00:30.89]When I'm ready I'll give you the sign
[00:33.95]You can gather me up like a quilt
[00:36.82]Tell my mother I tried, tell my cousin I lied
[00:39.65]I was holding your hand out of guilt
[00:42.73]Cause they never made my way
[00:45.55]Hold it, I never stole your heart or sort of it

[01:19.20]You cover me up with a thousand whispers
[01:22.15]You shuffle me into the night
[01:25.07]Whistle and hum to the traffic rum, calling us closer to the edge of the light
[01:30.87]Tell me tales that win my faith and be my champion of dreams
