lyrics

I came out here to obscurity
To find where I come from
I left behind a sea of voices
Friends and former loves
Something's been wrong for a long long time
I can't explain and
I can't ignore

But don't worry Mamma
I'm not hopeless anymore.

Letting go of ties that bind
And weights that drag you to the floor
Is sometimes not so easy
When the pain makes you feel secure
And like the man says
Life sometimes feels
Like a key stuck in a door

But don't worry Mamma
I'm not hopeless anymore.

From building castles made of sand
In Wexford in July
To bringing me to school singing Simply Red
In your old Toyota car
You wanted me to go
Seek my own fortunes
For myself on brighter shores

Well now I'm not rich, Mamma,
But I'm not hopeless anymore

Something came along
And replaced our songs with a dull roar
You looked at me in the living room
Like a body home from war
I was a young man
Full of death and rage
With swellings black and sore

But don't worry Mamma
I'm not hopeless anymore.
