Two Years Old Lyrics - Bobby Long

I lost my British soul 

Pulling out the corpse 

Sheltering in the trenches again 

Crying for remorse 

I laid my arms down 

Walked away in a trance 

There's parts of me laid out 

All over France 

So I took my last waltz 

Got caught up on the wire 

Wrote a letter for my love 

As I hid from the fire 

An old soldier carried me 

Away to the coast 

Bathed my wounds in the sea 

I'm in the hands of a ghost 

And so their boats came on in 

And I tried to run away 

And I got taken high by the throat 

In the burning light of day 

And I was sent down by the iron punch 

So broken and alone 

I left my blood on the beach 

For the tide to take me home 

See my girl she gave up 

She had taken me for dead 

She forgot all her promises 

And everything she said 

And I'm living in the darkest dream 

I rose up in the cold 

And this scar that I wear outside 

It's two years old 

Living by the past 

And living by the mile 

I took the same walk down 

That I did as a child 

The flags flew full mast 

Unaware of the fade 

No one saw me walk down 

At my very own parade 

So watching thoughts turn into dust 

'Cause I headed for the mount 

I strayed off the path 

Waitng for the count 

The shook those steel clad gates 

And filled me up with cold 

This scar that I wear inside is more 

than two years old 

These scars that I wear inside are more 

than two years old 

It's more than two years old
