on my way home

Singer:orton, beth

if i hadn't met you a mile ago

i might had got there about an hour ago

got washed away by the rain

was waiting for the bus it never came

i would be hanging round the fig leaves

of the town i live in

i'd be running round in circles

i'd be lost without the sin

i'd be lying with my lover

i'd be holding back the tears

if i had known would i have loved you forever

if i had known would i have drunk you today

there's a miny starry shawl

there's a thousand starry stars

on the back seat of the car

where the starry stars are stars

there's a hole in your pocket

there's a hole in a bucket

there's a hole in your shoes where the light came shining through

if i had known would i had loved you forever

if i had known would i have loved for days

if i had known would i had drunk you in forever

if i had known would i had drunk you in a day

if i hadn't met you a mile ago

i might have been the same but i don't know

got washed away by the rain

was waiting for the bus it never came
