The smoke filled my lungs The morning poured in clean Sister Whiskey and Father Time Stood to tell my story and held my soul like rock holds vine Well, here I stand A bird in hand One foot in sea and one on land And I'm not an honest man Well, I've said it before My hands have been holding the door I am heavy of heart I am not in control Lord, forgive me, I'm bargaining fervor for stones Singing oh Here I stand Here I stand Here I stand Here I stand So I beg my drunken heart to travel faster I beg my drunken heart to obey I beg my drunken heart to travel faster Spurring on a horse to catch the train
