Salvation - James Harries

Rainy daydreaming

Take me away a thousand miles

And three months and ten days

So I can see the sunny sky

For all my tomorrows

Will be a part of our yesterdays

This day I promise

That I will find another way

I’ll do all I can

To be a lucky man

When a moon is up

And the stars are bright

If hope is a crime

Lock me off tonight

And throw away the key

When there’s room inside my cell tonight

I need an alibi

To free me from this burden

This lonesome sleepless burden

Cos everybody needs salvation

But everybody wants it now

As I stand here on the outside

Everybody show me how

Far off, a tune’s played

Honky-tonking out of key

For how long

Was it our song

I’m crying at the memory

But they’re tears of joy

I’m a lucky boy

When a moon is up

And the stars are bright

If hope is a crime

Lock me off tonight

And throw away the key

When there’s room inside my cell tonight

I need an alibi

To free me from this burden

This lonesome sleepless burden

Cos everybody needs salvation

But everybody wants it now

As I stand here on the outside

Everybody show me how

There’s room inside my cell tonight

I need an alibi

To free me from this burden

This lonesome sleepless burden

I feel the sun around the corner

Yeah, a new day is dawning

Cos everybody needs salvation

But everybody wants it now

As I stand here on the outside

Everybody show me how
