Old Ways - MOONEY

Some things never change Or go away I wait around And now it's yesterday Like some little kid Who's overgrown The lonely one Who's never been alone But I don't want to ever go back To my old ways Cheatin' and creepin' around I don't ever want to go back To the old days Leaving the dead underground But I don't ever want to go No, I don't ever want to go back To my old ways again Always waiting for The rain to stop And praying for The other shoe to drop Let your worries go We're all in love A tidal wave That comes from up above But I don't want to ever go back To my old ways Cheatin' and creepin' around I don't ever want to go back To the old days Leaving the dead underground I don't ever want to go No, I don't ever want to go back To my old ways again I don't want to go back To my old ways again

The thundering sea is calling me home, home to you The pounding sea is calling me, home, home to you On a dark new year's night On the west coast of Clare I heard your voice singing Your eyes danced the song Your hands played the tune 'Twas a vision before me We left the music behind and the dance carried on As we stole away to the seashore We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair And with sadness you paused Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so Yet, it was there I felt the crossroads of time And I wondered why As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea A vision came o'er me Of thundering hooves and beating wings In clouds above Turning to go as you call out my name Like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly "The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew And I wondered why The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Drug you down took you away from everyone that ever loved you Fooled the crowd, made them believe that I was real, but you always knew I know I'm late, but I hope you know I'd kill to keep you safe If you love me then I beg that you just leave, forget my name Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go All the pills, all the money, all the pain Living consequences breathing just to take the blame I was wrong, I was wrong, I can see so clearly Made myself look like a fool and now you only fear me Fighting to change God only knows I've been living in agony I pushed you all away Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Just let me go Itching scratching my blood so thin the fucking ceiling spins It's clouding every night thought and stripping Everything away from me and crawling desperately It's got me trapped and living in agony Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go Let me go
