lyrics

ou left your tears on the pillow that would not dry,
You had a look in your eye to make a bad man cry
There was the smile of an angel laid across your lips
Though the woes of the world on your shoulders sit.

I said I'll make you good, yes I'll make you right
I've got the hands of a healer and the second sight
But when it came to the push and it came to the shove
I let you down I wasn't strong enough

CHORUS
I did you wrong girl, I did you wrong,
I let you down girl and left you in the ground.

Now the the words may be written but the message never read,
The story may be told but the meaning left unsaid,
And like the grains of the sand through my fingers you slipped,
The flesh it may willing but the heart the heart is just a wreck.

When you're standing in the shadows, it's hard to see the signs,
Been staring to the east but the sun it just don't rise,
You said head for the hills boy, run real fast,
Show a clean set of heals and you don't look back.

Well I ran till my feet bled and I fell to my knees
The rising sun it looked down and it was laughing at me
So I dragged myself back up and onto that path
I kept on running and I never looked back

Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners UK

Jack Cade plays a mix of Americana and Alt-Country usually as a solo performer but at times with The Everyday Sinners. His vocals are a rough and ready deep growl, delivered with simply crafted songs about love, loss and the bits in between.
