What is success? A house on a mountaintop? Things that cost a lot of money, I got Comfort for the beast inside
Childhood dreams Some a-come here through the air Laid themselves untouched and bare Like a gift in the night
Old forgiveness I find I lend you long ago A broken part of me would not let go But it always got away, yeah It always got away, hey… yeah
Hold my hand And walk beside me now I’ll help you clear The demons of thunder And the wreckage of your past
An unknown soldier From a regiment of angels sees Illuminated fields of everything And this too shall pass
And one love I really thought I had it all But reality came fallin’ down
‘Cause it always got away, hey, yeah It always got away, hey… yeah
And I believe it’s true When mountains crumble to the sea It will always be you and me
Now take these hands Raise ‘em up into the dirty sky Let go the reins and let your horses fly To the green grass of home The green grass of love The green, green grass of one love The green grass… forgiveness The green grass of knowing
Knowing who I am I thought I held it right here in my hand What I didn’t really understand Is that these tears Of shame and hurt and fear Like everything else They would disappear
‘Cause it always got away, hey It always got away, hey… Always got away, hey… It always got away
