Hell or High Water (From Days Gone) - Billy Raffoul

Was it the trick of the light? Or a shot in the dark? Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts? Was it something I said? Or just a cruel twist of fate? Was it hell or high water and is it too late? Oh, is it too late? Man, all my life I've been Searching for someone, to show me how it feels to be loved And how to love somebody back And after stumbling through the years I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night Was it the trick of the light? Or a shot in the dark? Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts? Was it something you said? Or just a cruel twist of fate? Was it hell or high water and is it too late? See, all my life I've been Silently reaching for A hand to hold to warm the colder sparkle lights To guide me through, alright? And after stumbling through the years I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night Was it the trick of the light? Or a shot in the dark? Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts? Was it something we did? Or just a cruel twist of fate? Was it hell or high water and is it too late? Hey, hey Hey, hey Was it a knife in my back? Or a fork in the road? Was it hell or high water that left us alone? Is it really game over? Is it really checkmate? Was it hell or high water and is it too late? Oh, is it too late? Was it the trick of the light? Or a shot in the dark? Was it hell or high water that broke her heart?

Oh yeah Trip the wires down around my feet Setting fires up and down the street Calling shotgun with no one at the wheel Hiding from the boogieman because I broke the deal Hang man is coming and he's killing on command Can't hide away It's too late to pray Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand From his hand Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) Face the demons that turn against your soul Junkie heathens swallowing you whole Pulling stitches from wounds that never bled Running from the maniac that lives inside your head The day Is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins For his sins Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) We look inside to see our battle scars As we hide from who we really are Swim against the river underneath the tide We're all just floating bodies filling up inside The day Is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins For his sins Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) (Don't need someone to save me) I'll be there come hell or high water (Can't break the will he gave me) Come the hell or high-yi (Don't need someone to save me) I'll be there come hell or high water (Can't break the will he gave me) Come the hell or high-yi-yo

Smoke em if you got em, Drink your glasses to the bottom, And toast me on another year. Another year of hope, Another year of holdin on, You drinkers by day, and bastards by dawn. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. Gather round friends and neighbors, Who make your living by labor, And share with me this little time. This little time that we have left, To have a drink and catch a breath, Well it might just be what saves our lives. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. Smoke em if you got em, Drink your glasses to the bottom, And listen to the howling dogs, And oh how it pleases me, To be in such company And im so glad our paths have crossed. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon.

Her and I met in native fire Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes It was bright but it don't burn anymore Nothing'll change come Christmas time You can stay where you want at night Just promise when love comes knockin', you'll answer the door Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Don't blame your mother, least we tried People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life The machine beeps less frequently They've gone to find out what that means It was months, now it may only be hours They say, ma'am your son was far from a coward Damn near first one into the tower Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life A lovely mother left behind People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Least you know you love the boy It's why you feel you were destroyed His father applied from the other side of the door Not his area of expertise, no "Plenty of fish" analogies He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport" Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Another lover you'll come to find People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you All the damn time
