The Sweetest Song

The Devil never leaves a bed unmade

And The Preacher never speaks on what he can’t explain

My Mother she told me to get what I want

So I followed you down and I got what I got

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home

My Lover made leaving the sweetest song

Sang a curse just like a promise, left a poem in my pocket

They’ll always leave you haunted if you stay too long

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home

Weren’t you the one who told me we had found forever?

Weren’t you the reason I set sail in late September?

Now I’m throwing salt, I’m never steppin on the cracks

Next time The Devil calls, you know I won’t turn back.

I never spoke ill, I just spoke the truth

And if you don’t like how it sounds… change what you do

I never wished you a fall from grace

If the pedestal does crumble — you’re to blame

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home

Oh oh oh baby it’s a long way home
