Town Beyond the Trees

No amount of money could pay my sins
Daddy's so sorry for the state he's in
There's a heavy price for the hurt I've caused
Daddy's gone away from the ones he loved

I wonder who you'll be when you've grown
I hope you have my eyes but not my soul
Would you even want to know my name?
Don't fear the blood 'cos we're not the same

I can't hold you
God I'm on my knees
I'll always love you
My heart is on my sleeve

I close my eyes when the nights are still
There's a time to die, a time to kill
If you're listening God I forgot to pray
For the thousand demons standing in my way

I long to see you
In the town beyond the trees
I wish I'd known you
But there is no release

Look after your mama when I'm gone
You've got to play straight, you gotta be strong
God is shining on my son
Please don't judge me when I'm gone

I will hold you
When you reach the other side
I adore you
'Cos love will never die

I will see you
In the town beyond the trees
There's light in the distance
I shall be released
