Madeleine Peyroux - Damn The Circumstances Lyrics






My heart is like a hand-me-down made soft by older brothers
My body's 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 the rags and dust
Where all good will has gone and the dreams we had went bust

Damn the circumstances
Life is hard enough
Damn the bones that rattle
Faith is good enough

    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
