EN
When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine I missed the life that I left behind And when I hear the sound of the black bird's cry I know I left in the nick of time Well this road I'm on is gonna turn to sand And leave me lost in a far off land So let me ride the wind till I don't look back And forget the life that I almost had If I wander till I die May I know whose hand I'm in If my home I'll never find And let me live again The longer I run then the less that I find Selling my soul for a nickel and dime Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes Losing again The longer I run then the less that I find Selling my soul for a nickel and dime Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes Losing again Tell my brother please not to look for me I ain't the man that I used to be Cause if my savior comes could you let him know I've gone away forward to save my soul If I wander till I die May I know whose hand I'm in If my home I'll never find And let me live again The longer I run then the less that I find Selling my soul for a nickel and dime Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes Losing again The longer I run then the less that I find Selling my soul for a nickel and dime Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes Losing again
