I Came Back

Bless me father, it's been far too many years

Since I woke without your slippery tongue inside my ear

Boy, you’d better never tell a should that I was here

I came back to hear the old man cry

I came back to hear the old man cry

You might think it fades to nothing like the sound

Of a heavy mass slamming a smaller one around

But it just keeps on coming up, and I swallow it back down

I came back to hear the old man cry

I came back to hear the old man cry

We go, we go

We go like a lamb to the flame

We come, we come for the thing that won't be saved

For the thing that won't be saved

It just keeps on coming up, and I swallow it back down

I came back to hear the old man cry

I came back to hear the old man cry

I came back to hear the old man cry

I came back to hear the old man cry
