Long Line of Pain Lyrics

comin from a long line of pain my family suffered greatly for my gain and i think a lot about how my daddy died so i would not live with out and his heart lives in my song the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone and I'm back alone far from home
now my mamma's on her own i try to call and see her when i'm home after all that she's been through all the doctors say there ain't nothin we can do and her heart lives in my song [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/long-line-of-pain-lyrics-amos-lee.html ] the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone and I'm back alone far from home
there's a bird outside my window who takes the song where he goes and leaves it there like a dead man's rockin chair
and tonight i'm feelin lost and headin down the highway out to boston i get the sense that i might lose it i thank god tonight for the light i got in music cause my heart lives in this song the melody comes and just as quickly the melody is gone I'm back alone far from home
