Back To Scratch lyrics - Charlotte Church

Down on my luck once more, out on a limb 
Over things I thought I knew for sure and you 
Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give 
what you received and you believed 
that I was yours to keep 

And I tell myself "hold on, slow down, 
girl is this me going back to scratch, again 
And oh you'll know it in the dead of night 
you're back to scratch, right back to scratch" 

Here in the heading days, love on a whim 
It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade 
Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like 
My heart is slipping thru my fingers 
Though the hope of love still lingers 
I just pray that he will find me now, today 

And wait a minute, "hold on, slow down, 
girl is this me going back to scratch, again 
and oh you'll know it in the dead of night 
you're back to scratch" 

Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on 
There's nothing else that I can do 
Suns will rise and set and rains will fall 
But when they fall on me, they won't on you 

I can't hold on to this love 
I'm going back to scratch, again 
and here I'm laying in this lonely night 
I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again 

And I can't hold on to this love, 
I'm going back to scratch, again 
and here I'm laying in this lonely night 
I'm back to scratch, right back to scratch
