Stray Hope Lyrics

I've got this sense of hope and it won't go away

Won't see it for months then it turns up like a stray

I've got this sense of hope

I didn't set out to adopt it, scratching around in the dirt

Cos feeding any hope sounds far too much like work

I've got this strange stray hope

Stray hope, stray hope

Oh sure I beat it back, I told it it can't stay

Can't keep this thing alive but the damn thing wants to play

I've got this strange stray hope

Stray hope, stray hope

Stray hope, stray hope

I tell you why I'm in no mood to give myself to this

Easy as it is to love, it's always hope that kills

Stray hope, hope

Hope

Stray hope

I've got this sense of hope, it must have a thousand lives

Cos it always creeps on back through the open door

Let me keep my hope

Let me keep my hope

Let me keep my hope
