Home

[Verse 1]
I used to think I would die young
Surrounded by angels they would tell me I am happy
And pick me up right off the ground
Now they seem to set me down and wait
This lake is warm it’s hard to swim
If I saw you again
I’d pull you down we sink like ships they never found
Without a light to help us sleep
So darling clutch with a fist to touch your rosary

[Chorus]
When any port is home at least you’ll keep from cold
I used to be a prime example of the things I didn’t want and now they’ve come around to bury me

[Verse 2]
I used to think I would die young
Surrounded by people that I tried to love and they would keep me warm
Now I’m content to be alone
Now I’m sure I’ll die old and forgotten

[Outro]
When I’m on my way home pretend you’re fast asleep and alone. Clutch your rosary and die young
