Words and music by Jon MacAulay.Unrequited love at it's finest.

lyrics

It’s been a long, lonesome road
Since you left home
Seems like cheap thrills and spinning wheels, and bar bills
Is all I’ve known
Yet I sit here wondering baby,
As I stand on your backyard lawn
Why I keep coming back
To what I should leave alone

Cause you’re a child of the reins
That steered you ‘cross the plains
A couple of lovers ago
And it’s a sin and a shame
There’s still a fire in the rain
Burnin' so soft and so low
As we sip on this last cup of ale
Before I go
Sip it real slow

Guess I’ll get on up and turn on back
Though moving on’s a skill I lack
So I roll the dice just to see where they land
This old road ain’t nothing new
It’s no surprise I’m here with you
To turn back one more time
It’s been a hundred-thousand miles
And as many phony smiles
Still I’m here staring at you
For I keep coming back
To what’s bound to make me blue

Cause you’re a child of the reins
That steered you ‘cross the plains
A couple of lovers ago
And it’s a sin and a shame
There’s still a fire in the rain
Burnin' so soft and so low
As we sip on this last cup of ale
Before I go
Sip it real slow
Sip it real slow yeah
