The Night I called it a Day Lyrics

I been born, I been killed, I been burnt, I been drilled

I been sad, I been sold, I been spurned and I been stoned

I put my trust in trust, tried hard not to hold a grudge

I gave my heart on loan but it never found its way back home

Oh how was I so blind?

Some things you cannot see

But they all came clear to me

In a house somewhere on a hill so bare

I sit real tight, watch day blend into night

New sounds new sights, sweet air and a strange light

But back home I see smoke through my little telescope

They can burn for all I care

No it's not animosity

I was tired and I needed sleep

On the night that I called it a day

I burned my bridges, tore out the page

Let's blow the whistle 'cos I'm tired of this game

Gotta go, gotta go.

Got stuck in mud, 'cos I trust too much

I blame just me, should've seen the smoke screen

Like a dog that barks too much, I never felt his bite as such

Just needed that little break, a bit of neck is all it takes

Oh, how was I so blind

Some things you cannot see

But they all came clear to me

On the night that I called it a day

I burned my bridges tore out the page

Let's blow the whistle 'cos I'm tired of this game

Gotta go, gotta go

Let go the brakes, let go the brakes
