S M Borthwick - Never Lied to You Lyrics

A-rollin' into Frisco on a bright, cold day
The fog in my mind just won't burn away
You say where are you headed, where have you been
You can't imagine the trouble I've seen
My head is buzzin' like a crosscut saw
Tryin' to do what I can this side of the law
Well the hounds will drag me beyond your ken
I've never lied to you, ha, except just then

Time is shorter than it ever was
I wanna fight, but I don't have a cause
We missed the war, but we still bear the scars
Saw a man with no arms playing guitar
Don't know what that tells you about your ever-loving God
I didn't want to offend him, so I didn't applaud
The hounds will drag me beyond your ken
I never lied to you, except just then

Well the truck is loaded and I'm runnin' strong
If you get knocked off your rhythm you're doin' it wrong
You could shoot for the moon with that cold, blue pill
You said that you won't, but you probably will
I'll never find the demon in your maze
You're always lookin' your best on your darkest days
The hounds will drag me beyond your ken
I never lied to you, except just then

I'll be lookin' to build when I can find a plot
Just can't be satisfied with what I've got
I ain't askin' for you to forgive
A life lived in fear is a life half lived
We both knew you were born to leave me
I'll be gone forever if there's no-one to grieve me
Well the hounds will drag me beyond your ken
I never lied to you, except just then
