Hope, lyric by Kristin Hersh

from the songs album Strange Angels

I know I don't want you, I know I don't want you,
I feel broken, I feel broken and miles away
Let the brain bells ring again
Let the angels sing again
Drain the bottle, drink you in
I won't stop till your mother brings you home
Nobody's muscle can break your bone
Nobody's thirst can take your tears
Where do I live when you disappear
Oh no not again

I'm the airstrip where you land
Take me to the promised land
This is all I understand
I broke me, I can break you too
Nobody tells me what to do
I saw hope in my backyard
Nobody told me this would be so hard
Not again

I know I don't want you, I know I don't want you,
I feel broken, I feel broken and miles away
