Blacking in and out
in a strange flat
in east London Somebody
I don't really know just gave me
something to help set me down
and stop me always
thinking about you And you know
your life is heading
in a questionable
direction when youre off in days
with strangers and
you can't remember
anything except way you sounded
when you told me you didn't know
what I should do
It's a long road out to recovery
from here a long way
back to the light
A long road out to recovery
from here a long way
back to whats right
And so I wake up in the morning
just like every other day
and like every
boring blues song
I get swallowed by the pain
so I fumble for your figure
in the darkness
just to make it go away
But youre not lying there any
longer and I know that
it's my fault so I been crawling
on the floor and
pounding on the walls and
I've been divvying my darkness
and serotonin
boosters cider and
some kind of smelling salts
a long road out to recovery
from here a long way
back to the light
A long road out to recovery
from here a long road
to making it right
so on the first night we met
you said well darling
lets make a deal
if anybody ever asks
us well lets say
that we met in jail
And thats the
story that Im sticking
to like a southern face
that comforts but today I
need to hear some truth
if Im ever getting through
this Yea you once sent
me a letter that said
if I was lost at sea close
my eyes and catch a time
idea and only think of me
Well darling now I'm sinking
I'm as lost as
lost can be and I'm hoping
you can drag me broken down
and out to my recovery
if you could just give me a sign
and just a subtle
little glimmer a
suggestion that youd have me
if I could only make me
better then I would stand
a little taller and stand
a little stronger all the time
Because I know you are a cynic
but I think I can convince you
Because broken people
can get better if they really
want to Or at least that’s
what I have to tell myself
if I am hoping to survive
Well it’s a long road out to
recovery from here
A long way back to the light
A long road out to recovery
from here
A long way to making it right
So darling sweet lover
won’t you help me to recover
Darling sweet lover
won’t you help me to recover
Darling sweet lover
won’t you help me to recover
Darling sweet lover one day
this will all be over
