  • Down on my luck once more, out on a limb
    Over things I thought I knew for sure and you
    Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give
    what you received and you believed
    that I was yours to keep

    And I tell myself "hold on, slow down,
    girl is this me going back to scratch, again
    And oh you'll know it in the dead of night
    you're back to scratch, right back to scratch"

    Here in the heading days, love on a whim
    It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade
    Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like
    My heart is slipping thru my fingers
    Though the hope of love still lingers
    I just pray that he will find me now, today

    and wait a minute, "hold on, slow down,
    girl is this me going back to scratch, again
    and oh you'll know it in the dead of night
    you're back to scratch"

    Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on
    There's nothing else that I can do
    Suns will rise and set and rains will fall
    But when they fall on me, they won't on you

    I can't hold on to this love
    I'm going back to scratch, again
    and here I'm laying in this lonely night
    I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again

    And I can't hold on to this love,
    I'm going back to scratch, again
    and here I'm laying in this lonely night
    I'm back to scratch, right back to scratch Writer/s: CHARLOTTE MARIA CHURCH, JONATHAN POWELL FIELD
