Lyrics of Shiola

I steal a look between the blinds, i unwind
She sleeps in comfort in my arms
She is plain but she is mine

Our child is silent but awake
I run my hands through his hair
I teach him manners and how to stick up
For himself when things get bad

I tell him, "son, never throw the first punch
And if you must fight, make it clean"

Shiola, shiola
Will all be forgiven?
Shiola, shiola
Am i strong enough to start again alone?

The taste of home is filling up my mouth
Is it wrong to love a family of ghost
Her door is open, the windows are all up
She says, "come inside"

I live alone more or less
I summon wife, child and happiness
Build them up from the dirt and clay
I have to believe that all will be forgiven

Shiola, shiola
Will all be forgiven?
Shiola, shiola
Am i strong enough to start again alone?

Shiola, shiola
My heart is overflowing
Shiola, shiola
With love and anger coiled into one

They take and take but never get their fill
I try and try but fail against my will
I wait and wait for that hand to sweep me up
And take me down that road
