Lyrics

So what was I thinking when I stopped in this town
You never needed tempting to bring me down
If my heart was aching, it?s on the floor right now
Your motherless children, cold eyes to the ground

The chill of the evening, streets we once stood
I promised my faith, then it was gone for good
Grey skies turn darker, it?s hard to believe
To be so sad and don?t feel a thing

And the wind and the rain
Wild Irish rose
Black Iron Gate
With a tombstone glow


There?s a blue eyed mule ahead, where the yellow river bends
Just like they said it always did
Baking in the darkness, they say the suns going to shine
I can?t be so sure of that this time

Chorus

Black water churning, I?m going home
To the girl that I love, my young bride Leona
The crack of the fire, shadows dance in these hills
I?m waltzing Matilda
