Damaged From The Start Lyrics


Here's a man of sorrows, children
As constant as the sea
Searching for a heart
That's lost it's stone.
She moves like a serpent, baby
Through time she drags her tail
Of all the broken hearted
Left behind.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
With these bruised and battered hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
There they go like shadows, darling
Between this world and that
Never knowing where the light
Will shine.
But I can tell you one thing, sweetheart
We share a place in time

Nothing more is needed
'cause you're mine.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
With these bruised and battered hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
Such a perfect pairing, dear one,
The Pacific and it's rock
A battle weighed on scales
We can not know.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
Oh how we broke each others hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
These scarred and healing hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.

The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
