Still It Lingers

Whoa whoa whoa

Upon this rock they built a house

It ain't no place for a young child

I've seen the terror of night and

The arrow flies by day

You should have listened to your son

Please mama let me stay at home

'Cos I don't like that kind of love

They say it's from above

Still it lingers

How could you dare?

I'm waiting on

The day that I won't even care

Still it lingers

Can't stand so much rage

'Cos it's all so far from grace

After a thousand cigarettes

I lay down alone, roll in my bed

Can't quiet the voices from the past

I don't sleep at all

I know it's been so many years

So many angels cried like me

My skin grows thicker but I know

Some wounds will never heal

Still it lingers

How could you dare?

I'm waiting on

The day that I won't even care

Still it lingers

Can't stand so much rage

'Cos it's all so far from grace

Whoa whoa whoa

Still it lingers

How could you dare?

I'm waiting on

The day that I won't even care

Still it lingers

Can't stand so much rage

'Cos it's all so far from grace

Whoa whoa whoa
