I know it's not exactly right, but it's simple and
leaves room to work out how to sing the really deep
notes in the song.
If you like it,... rate it!
FALL OF TROY
(Waits/Brennan)
It's the same with men as with horses and dogs
Nothing wants to die
Ethel and james they killed in a game
With guns too big for their hands
Just off Saint Charles, in no-man's land
And you'll have to find your own way home, boys,
You'll have to find your own way home
The oldest was Troy, an eighteen year old boy
Shot dead in march, in a robbery
His brothers started out, to hell and to ruin
Troy's killers were never, caught they say
Young Nick, he just went bad that day
Now he'll have to find his own way home, boy's,
He'll have to find his own way home
Why cook dinner, why make my bed, why come home, at all
Out the door and through the woods,
There's a world where nothing grows
It's hard to say grace, and to sit in the place
Of someone missing at the table
Mom's hair sprayed tight and her face in her hands
Watching T.V. for answers to me
After all she's only human
And she's trying to find her own way home, boy's
She's trying to find her own way home
My legs ache, my heart is sore, the well is full of pennies
