Intro : A lonely man amidst these scenes, I wander aimless round these dreams I prefer the humble ones, I prefer the humble ones now you have gone You’ve gone 5000 miles. You’ll be gone at Christmas time So I’ll carry the cross, The cross into the lights blind my eyes And I will beg that you still love me A thousand miles for every year, Since you swept across this desert You’re a prophet, you’re a plague, I felt the flowers grow despite myself Will I be the bastard I was then? Will the isolation spread Just like a cancer, Like a lie, I’ll carry the cross The cross into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me Go to sleep, I’ll dream of endlessness, Go to sleep, I’ll dream of children in the hills (Mandolin solo) When you come home you will find, This naked spirit tumbling blind I’ll lay myself down at your mercy, A faithless man who lies Into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me Go to sleep, Will you still love me x 3 then until finish
