Tom Paxton - Corrymeela lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Corrymeela lyrics]
Was lost and confused
There wasn't an unkind word or
Spiteful thought I hadn't used
All the anger I carried was bound to explode
I was walking in a rage down a long hard road
O Corrymeela, I need to rest myself
I need to discover myself again
O Corrymeela, I need a peaceful vision
O let my only decision be
To lay down my sorrows
There were times when I was right
There were times when I was wrong
I couldn't feel one way about
Anything for very long
The blame for all my troubles
Pointed everywhere but me
I was as full of hate as
Any one you'll ever see
Just to feel the anger leaving me
Just to let the burning bitterness die
O show me the sea, let it's music heal me
Show me a field where I can lie
I was tearing myself apart
I was my own worst enemy
There didn't seem to be an
Answer to my misery
I knew that I was wrong and I
Was sure that I was right
I was cursing the darkness and
Blowing out the light
