Let the Wretched Come Home

Every day you gotta remake life
Build it up, tear it down
Man, it's like a knife to the head
Lay down in it after you make that bed

And if I don't like it could be it's a test
To see if I'll fall or fly
Give me half a chance to prove myself
You know at least I'm bound to try

(Chorus)
Let the wretched come home
Let the wretched come home
I've seen about enough to turn
My heart to stone

Alice was a blue-gown, Aaron was a lord
And I was just a juniper-tree
Ever since the day I walked out of my father's house
Love's been the death of me

Try to work it out try to leave it alone
Try not to think about it all the time
Standing on the corner of another careless town
All of these days stretched out in a line

(Chorus)
