Rookwood

Looking out the window of my mother's room

Darkness all around as I dream of you

Waiting for something that never begins

Filled with a feeling that has no end

When my heart is so far away

Don't know why I'm here but I gotta stay

I was so young, filled with dread

How I joked that I was better off dead

Lights out on the street tonight

Broken lamps and a cold, damp home

Only good thing to come is now I know

How to live better than I ever learnt

So many sleepless nights in my bed

Switching sides doesn't switch your head

This house is dead nature, dead, dead nature

Still to the bonе, still to the bone

Tonight, therе's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name to me

Tonight, there's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name

Stuck in a place where you gotta learn

How to look in when the mirrors are turned

Only way out is through the valley of pain

No quick road to the breaker of chains

You grow up with an empty bag

Fills to the brim, fills to the brim

You grow up with a choice in your hands

Where to begin? Where to begin?

Tonight, there's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name to me

Tonight, there's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name to me, name to me

Hold on to her, you gotta go, gotta go

Gotta go, alright

Hold on to her, you gotta go, gotta go

Gotta go, alright

Tonight, there's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name to me

Tonight, there's a darkness over town

And it sings your name to me

It sings your name to me, name to me, name to me, name to me
