Victorian Halls - Home Lyrics

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

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.

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.

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