Brought It All To You Lyrics

Came out with wide eyes flickering

Suitcase in my hand

Bought myself a one way ticket

To the promised land

Landed in the arms of my mother

Thought i could hear her call

Beneath the sounds of the ricocheting bullets

That mark her ancient walls

I came back drifting, listing, limping

I came back hopeless, ropeless

And brought it all to you

Took my youth and my hunger

And sunk them in your soil

Left with a back half broken

Like an old man freighted with his toil

Saw the night sky luminous

Like sun upon the sea

Bombs rained down indiscriminate

But somehow they didn't choose me

I came back drifting, listing, limping

I came back hopeless, ropeless

And brought it all to you

Came out with wide eyes flickering

Suitcase in my hand

Brought you my grief and brokenness

Cause I thought you'd understand

You opened like a wild flower blooming

Soothed an aching soul

Made a space inside your body that

For a moment made me whole

I came back drifting, listing, limping

I came back hopeless, ropeless

And brought it all to you
