Crooked Fingers (feat. Gail)

Today I walked to the grocery store

Just to feel the sunlight on my face

Now I've seen death, poverty and war

But this walk is helping me feel brave

It's been four years since I laid you in the grave

Now I'm alone and I need you more than ever

I know most days I'll grumble and complain

Oh God, I wish we were walking this together

These crooked fingers are attached to a broken soul

In a world so torn to pieces, maybe it's my time to go

But I'm still holding on, for a hope that I don't know

My body hurts, but it's a pain that I can't take

It's the stories that open my old wounds

But I gotta tell them so I don't forget those days

And maybe one day they won't forget me too

These crooked fingers are attached to a broken soul

In a world so torn to pieces, maybe it's my time to go

But I'm still holding on, for a hope that I don't know

I think I want to live I'm just hoping my mind won't give

I don't want your heart to fear my end is drawing near

I cannot prolong the feeling I don't belong

I have made my peace, my place in history

These crooked fingers are attached to a broken soul

In a world so torn to pieces, maybe it's my time to go

But I'm still holding on, for a hope that I don't know
