Dying Day Lyrics
I left home a long long time ago
In a tin can for the road
With a suitcase and some songs
Chasing miles through the night time
Making tracks with no time for looking back
To the place where I belong
How these days grow long
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
When you're sad you know I wish I could be there
To make your sorrows disappear
And set your troubles free
It's not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true, wherever I might be
Time keeps burning
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
Now I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams echos in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
And I'll be with you at last forever by your side
How these days grow long
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
Time keeps burning
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
In a tin can for the road
With a suitcase and some songs
Chasing miles through the night time
Making tracks with no time for looking back
To the place where I belong
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
To make your sorrows disappear
And set your troubles free
It's not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true, wherever I might be
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
While the sound of drunken screams echos in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
And I'll be with you at last forever by your side
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
Time keeps burning
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long

Why are there no comments?? Brandi is incredible and this song is amazing, she's got the most unique voice!
I think there are only two comments because the meaning of this song is so very clear. No need to discuss. :-)

It is one of my favorite songs from her. The lyrics are great and the music as well and I sometimes get jealous of her as apparently she has someone to write a song for that has so much joy in it and shows in such a great way how much she loves that person and I want that too. :-)

I am not sure though whom she writes it to, if it is her family and parents...
I am not sure though whom she writes it to, if it is her family and parents at home or if it her girlfriend.
The other day, when I listened to this song for maybe second or third time I nearly fell of my bike as I could not keep my hands still, I was so caught up in the rhythm.
This is the first Brandi Carlile song I ever heard..... made me fall in love and go get all her music. Brandi and the twins did amazing with G.U.T.G.
