Lyrics Madeleine Peyroux

Madeleine Peyroux

Damn The Circumstances

My heart is like a hand me down

Made soft by older brothers

My body is like my father's house

The sin of generations

Damn the circumstances

Life is hard enough

Damn the bones that rattle

Faith is good enough

You shook the ground beneath my feet

My hopes turned into water

The house came crashing down on me

In the early morning hours

Damn the circumstances

Life is hard enough

Damn the bones that rattle

Faith is good enough

Now the lines are drawn

and we sleep in rags at dust

where all good will is gone

and the dreams we had went bust

Damn the circumstances

Life is hard enough

Damn the bones that rattle

Faith is good enough
