Scars From Another Life - Michael McDermott

Hallelujah… the choir they all sang

As i walked by St Mary’s in a misty rain

T’was so long ago… I think it was yesterday

I was so down… i had completely lost my way

When i hit Broadway i began to realize

That all they are, are scars from another life

Percy drank his coffee then said to me

I’ve been thinking bout where the river meets the sea

I’ve been pickin' poison fruit from a troubled tree

Because sometimes it seems your past won’t let you be

You can kill it with a gun if you do it right

Or run that far from the scars from another life

Singin' Hey La Hey La Hey La Hey

Scars from another life

I’d been blessed with love but threw it away

Now i wait for it to return everyday

And say «you're forgiven boy… you deserve another chance»

You’ll wrap your arms around me and to Sinatra we will dance

«One more for the road» in a holy light

Won’t you sway with me babe… with the scars from another life

Singin' Hey La Hey La Hey La Hey

Scars from another life

Singin' Hey La Hey La Hey La Hey

Scars from another life

Don’t run away, they’re scars from another life

Don’t be afraid, they’re scars from another life

Won’t you sway with me babe…

I smoke these haunted memories every night

While i think about the scars from another life
