LYRICS: Whitehorse - Emerald Isle

I've noticed recently that people have been visiting fromalt2zen looking for the lyrics to Whitehorse's "Emerald Isle."  I figured it was about time that they're on the internet, so others can appreciate the song as a whole, so here they are!  These lyrics belong to Whitehorse; I don't own them in any way.

I’ll wait on the emerald isle for you to come and rescue me
From every step I can’t make
Feet don’t you ever break, drag me over that line
Halfway around the medicine ball is far enough to blow me back
Like you broke the bank on the ticket worth every damn nickel
Well, you got me that time

‘Cause I’ve been on the road one day too long
Can’t hear the record for another sad song
Look at all these faces
Can’t all be wrong
That’s a lot of my heart out there

Did you fly a million miles for every single one that I ran
I don’t know which of us is crazier, oh sweet baby
That’s the madness I desire
And there’s a twinkle in the Clifton sky
Been there forever
And lights the way for the waters
The jackals and the lovers
And the broken streetlights

‘Cause I’ve been on the road one day too long
Can’t hear the record for another sad song
Look at all these faces
Can’t all be wrong
That’s a lot of my heart out there

So do we keep running through the motions, baby?
Knowing that someday’s gonna come maybe
When you can’t keep your pretty mouth from saying
I wanna go home

I’ll wait on the emerald isle for you to come and rescue me
