back to scratch

Charlotte Church

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
