Backroads Lyrics - Singles - 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 (x4)
