Land Of My Father Songtext
von The Quireboys

Is it wrong, the way I feel?
Is it wrong how my heart bleeds?
There′s a time when every man was down
This boy has got to say what's on his mind
Do you know what you gotta do?
Do you know what it means to you?
Tears and fears come flooding back
I wear ′em just like medals on my chest

Oh, take me back where I belong
Take me back where I grew strong
Lay me down
In the land of my father


Knock 'em down like a house of cards
As I tumble to the ground
Scare me down where the rivers run
In the place where grew proud
I've tried, I′ve cried
Yeah, the rivers run
Rivers run
Take my hand, I′ll lead you home
There's feelings I can′t hide
Scars are deep in my heart
We just can't have this foolish pride
When all is said and done
We′ll lose, we're always wrong
But it′s not all gone

Take me back where I belong
Well, take me back where I grew strong
Let me down
In the land of my father

I can't be what you want me to be
I can't see what you want me to see
Saying goodbye to the past
Will set me free
Set me free
Oh yeah

Is it wrong, the way I feel?
Is it wrong how my heart bleeds?
There′s a time when every man was down
But his boy has got to say what′s on his mind

Oh, take me back where I belong
Take me back where I grew strong
Let me down
In the land of my father


Let me down
In the land of my father
Lay me down
In the land of my father
