Rattling Locks Lyrics - So Runs The World Away - Josh Ritter

There was a time I had the right key, 

Rolled the tumblers, threw the bolt 

On every wandering eye I caught 

But something has changed it's all wrong 

I'm out here in the cold with a wet face 

A-rattling your locks 

There ain't nothin' new about the world 

That I ain't learned from 'a just standin' here in this spot

Ain't nothing new about the world 

That I ain't learned from just watching you go by 

I tell myself people are cold and strangers pass 

Separate themselves from love 

By building walls a hundred thousand miles high 

Frostbite and heartsickness 

Ain't neither one of them so bad 

You can understand the reason why 

Black hole, black hole 

Are your eyes as empty as they look? 

Black hole, black hole 

How can your two eyes be as empty as they look? 

All along I thought I was giving you my love 

But you were just stealin' it, now I want it back 

Every single thing you took 

Black hole, black hole 

Photos 

I had a dream where I was dyin' 

But it wasn't no nightmare 

I was peaceful as I fell 

And if I was fallin' into heaven 

Heaven must be hotter than the Bible tells 

I woke up sorry I was living 

Rather than rattling your locks 

I'd rather spend the night in hell 

In hell, in hell, in hell 

Black hole, black hole
