Ancient Sorrow Lyrics

Ancient Sorrow lyrics

Got this ancient sorrow

With everyone blaming each other for tomorrow

Brother against brother

When you were crying the wolves were at your door

But you're too shy, you hope there can't be much more



You say 'I have to go away'

I can no longer stay

I love you all so much

I hope we can stay in touch

But you never grow around here



Well all along there was this feeling of shame

That you were too young

So how can you be to blame

Can you can feel forgiven

For wantin' to do some living



I saw you leaving, leaving with the dawn

First to plead for your sanity, and then you're gone

Back on the road now just tryin' to keep your heart inside

Man I hope you keep it for the mile
