Lyrics

I still have your painting,

It's set on my wall,

And is the man behind you,

Screaming come on home?

Will you come home?

And if I only hurt you,

Why sit in the winter cold,

With me for company?

For I am just a black cloud,

Don't you know your God,

Will let you down,

And you still ask why

We all say,

We are tired of feeling low,

We are tired of being alone,

Destroy a head,

But not your own,

And if we make it,

To see morning coffee,

Then I swear you'll find an answer,

Yeah I swear you'll find an answer

I can see your father,

Painted in the sky,

No there was not an artist,

Not even a last goodbye,

So you long to hear the words,

That will make you feel much better still,

But what's better is,

The cross that you lay upon says,

I knew your God would let you down

We all say,

We are tired of feeling low,

We are tired of being alone,

Destroy a head,

But not your own,

And if we make it,

To see morning coffee,

Then I swear you'll find an answer,

Yeah I swear you'll find an answer

We'll find hope,

There is a crisis in the slow lane,

Are you figuring life out,

You will miss the point,

And question where you are,

Where you are

We all say,

We are tired of feeling low,

We are tired of being alone,

Destroy a head,

But not your own,

We all say,

We are tired of feeling low,

We are tired of being alone,

Destroy a head,

But not your own,

And if we make it,

To see morning coffee,

Then I swear you'll find an answer,

Yeah I swear you'll find an answer
