lyrics

ORPHANS (words and music Steve Austin)

it’s time to burn these bridges down
no ‘silver girl’ can sail these troubled waters
I’m weary but I’m walking tall
these tears are not of shame they will not drown us

lay me down in waters deep
let me lie in dreamless sleep
with storm above in calm beneath
are the two I lost and the love they gave me

now is not for looking back
the past it always sails not far behind me
and it may call me gently home
but into Siren arms it will not tempt me

lay me down in waters deep
let me lie in dreamless sleep
with storm above in calm beneath
are the two I lost and the love they gave me

I’m not down I’m walking out
I’m on the street again, where will it take me
it’s time to burn these bridges down
lie still in waters deep ‘til morning wake me

‘til morning wake me
‘til morning wake me
‘til morning wake me
‘til morning wake me
