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 hand 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 ghosts?
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,
The 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 the road---home.
