Emerald Isle - Whitehorse

I wait on the Emerald Isle

For you to come and rescue me

From every step I can’t make

Feet don’t you ever break

Drag me over that line

Halfway around the medicine ball

Is far enough to blow me back

Like you broke the bank on the ticket

Worth every damn nickel

Well, you got me that time

'Cause I’ve been on the road one day too long

Can’t hear the record for another sad song

Look at all these faces

Can’t all be wrong

That’s a lot of my heart out there

Did you fly a million miles

For every single one that I ran?

I don’t know which of us is crazier

Oh, sweet baby

That’s the madness I desire

And there’s a twinkle in the Clifton sky

Been there forever

And lights the way for the runners

The jackals and the lovers

And the broken street light

I’ve been on the road one day too long

Can’t hear the record for another sad song

Look at all these faces

Can’t all be wrong

That’s a lot of my heart out there

So, do we keep running through the motions, baby

Knowin' that one day’s gonna come maybe

When you can’t keep your pretty mouth from saying

I wanna go home?

I wait on the Emerald Isle

For you to come and rescue me
