Maria Daines ~ Firebreak

'Firebreak'

Have you heard from her lately
I know she was your homeland
Hard to understand
But you're a good man

I know your memory fails
And grinds you down
But you're strong enough, strong enough
To fight it out

Still got more love to give
Hard, getting old and frail
Wake up, wake up and live
It's difficult, beyond the pale

Why don't you send a card
Words to reach a wild heart
Something she can touch
And treasure, a work of art

I know you've done your best
You've lost and lost and lost
And the closest know and love you, still
Got our fingers crossed
Not over the hill, you're still the boss
Don't give up, it's a bitter pill

You're kind, even when you're drunk
You done it all and then some, my love
They pick on you cos they're crazy, crazy and dumb
But they ain't you and they ain't done what you done

I know your memory fails
And grinds you down
But you're strong enough, strong enough
To fight it out
Keep punching above your weight
Don't listen to the hate
You got more than they can bear
On your broken plate
And it's never too late, you know it's never too late
Never, never, never, never too late
Don't worry, don't agitate, don't get in a state
We're here for you
We're the firebreak
Never too late, we're the firebreak
Don't worry, don't agitate, oh don't get in a state
We're here for you
We're the firebreak
