Lyrics

Rusting Armour
Craig Sinclair (2006), released independently in 2007


I’ve been aching through bone dry winters
Waiting for the tears
I always thought that there’d be comfort in the passing time
And counsel in the wisdom of the years

And each morning I strap on rusting armour
And stumble out into the fray
Crushed between the rank and file 
And all the stony faces trying to find their way

And now each night takes longer
To wash off the bloodstains of the day
To keep the wounds from turning sour
I swear I’ll drop my sword and walk away

Hoist a white flag from the tallest pole
I’m running from this war
To where the river walks more slowly
I try to forget the things I saw
The things I saw

I’ve half a mind to break free from this shelter
And seek solace in the storm
Let the raindrops beat upon my brow 
Until I’ve found the things I’m running from

Hoist a white flag from the tallest pole
I’m running from this war
To where the river walks more slowly
I try to forget the things I saw
The things I saw

And so I stand before the mirror
I tell the man to tell me what he sees
While I wander aimless circles all around myself
And then lay down to sleep

I’ve been aching through bone dry winters
Waiting for the tears

I’ve been aching through bone dry winters
Waiting for the tears
