That Wrecking Ball - Mandolin Orange

That Wrecking Ball Lyrics

I've taken to leaning these past few days
A little too heavy on my walking cane
Cause I'm afraid she's swinging my way
That wrecking ballNow with all my ducks in a row
With one pull I could let them go
Not to lose, just to show
I could catch them allBut every man bears a burden
His own beast by the horns
That he hides from the world
When he's young and strong
Looking over his shoulders
Half tattered and torn
Still standing tallBut every year rolls on like a runaway train
Every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings
To and fro, and on she goes,
That wrecking ballInstrumentalI've just seen that rock of ages
I've just held my savior's hand
We danced on the water

With my head on her shoulders
She swore to never let me fallAnd wouldn't time seem so kindly
If every bright eyed girl could be more like you
And shelter me me
From that wrecking ball
That wrecking ball
