Who Maimed You Songtext
von Anna Aaron

Dear Helen, I′m writing from our house on the hills
Summer is coming, but it's cold here still
I′ve been tearing down the walls, but the walls were built
In the days when people were strong

Helen, around here the nights are long
And there's nothing but a dark wind blowing strong
Through the cracks of the days we had before we walked alone

And the days we had were good
Though slightly misunderstood
My European drawl and your southern slang

Oh Helen, I'm ready for a plan
I′m ready for the big time
Hey, by the way, I′m not living alone
I'm not ready for a life of kicking stones
I′ve been forced down and back and through it all

Helen, these days it's like I′m never alone
I'm not aching for a living of skin and bones
I′ve been down cornered and hacked and through it all


I'm ready for the fall
I'm ready for life

Here I am, a silent man
Like it′s all I′ve ever known

Helen, I can take it, I'm a little bit older
I′m a little bit stronger than the man you knew
I haven't fallen down the cracks, those days are gone

Seems like right before the crossing
You went back down over the line

Oh Helen, I′m ready for a plan
I'm ready for the big time
Hey, by the way, I′m not living alone
I'm not ready for a life of kicking stones
I've been forced down and back and through it all

Helen, these days it′s like I′m never alone
I'm not aching for a living of skin and bones
I′ve been down cornered and hacked and through it all

I'm ready for the fall
I′m ready for life
I'm ready for it all


Here I am, a silent man
Like it′s all I've ever known
