Back Against The Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This drunken heart of mine knows the taste of a wine
That's bitter sweet that long ago was taken from the vine
This beggar's heart of mine, it ain't got any pride
So it lays me down on my knees to pray
One day it will guide my way
A fool will pay the price to play, I know
Now I'm back against the wall
So now I'll sit and drink
Maybe tomorrow
I will know my fate
For now I'll sit and wait
Maybe tomorrow
This forgotten heart of mine blocks out all the stars that shine
That heaven sent to the hell bent could not make me feel high
This lover's heart of mine, music of a divine
Caress on distant shores that I long to
Go and find someday if my heart guides my way
A fool will pay the price to play, I know
Now I'm back against the wall
So now I'll sit and drink
Maybe tomorrow
I will know my fate
For now I'll sit and wait
Maybe tomorrow
That I'm back against the wall
So now I'll sit and drink
Uh, maybe tomorrow
I will know my fate
For now I'll sit and wait
Maybe tomorrow (x4)
