Darkest Places Amos Lee

[Verse 1]
I've been holding on by a thread and the wind won't stop blowing my flag round
I've been looking out for letters and waiting for a stranger to come knock me out
I've been wanderin' around like a man
Fought in a war he knows never would be won
Like an empty Budweiser bottle in the window glowin' in the sun

[Chorus]
When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

[Verse 2]
I've been reading the news and, boy, it looks so bad
So many people out there rеally struggling
All these profiteers with all our tears as souvеnirs, all the time they're juggling
Well, I played the clown for you, baby, I would do it for you all again
But when the sands are always shiftin', it's so hard to know exactly where to stand

[Chorus]
When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

[Bridge]
Baby, I'm so hungry now, but I can't reach out
'Cause I'm freezing to the bone
I don't wanna live without you
'Cause I've only learned how to live alone
Oh
