Sandi Thom - Belly of the Blues (Live from the middle of nowhere) Lyrics

Oh how I love a heart that aches
So drown me in despair
Going down to the shadow
Where the clock strikes 8
Follow me if you dare
I don't know why
I can't explain
No matter how I try
It's a losing game
Take me to the cross I bear
I will hang my head and cry
Hang my head and cry

I was born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues
I was born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues

Oh how I love to feel the pain
So drown me in my tears
Going down to the halls
Where the darkness waines
Feels the same after all the years
As cold as the wind and as wild as the sea
The tides that turn around in me
Just like the sun carries the moon
My hungry soul will sing
My hungry soul will sing

I was born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues
I was born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues

Every step I'm gonna take
Feels like the levee's gonna break
Every corner that I turn
Every bridge that I have burned
Every time I wage my bets
Feels like the last chance that I'll get
Every day is passing by
Hear the devils turn and cry

Every step I'm gonna take
Feels like the levee's gonna break
Every corner that I turn
Every bridge that I have burned
Every time I wage my bets
Feels like the last chance that I'll get
Every day is passing by
Hear the devils turn and cry
Born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues
I was born
I was born
I was born in the belly of the blues
