Sarah Bowman Yanked lyrics

I got yanked across an ocean
where they told me to go home
You can`t come back here so soon dear
It‘s not the land where you were born

You were kind to give me shelter
You kept me from drifting on
You better rest now
before the night is gone

You`ve got a lot of nerve
Feels like you`re pulling at the earth
like you pull at the sheets in your sleep
and wake up on the surface

I thought you had all the answers
Thought my feet had touched the ground
But this wind that comes from the ocean
isn`t the kind to put me down


You made something from your sadness
we made a life like a hot morning
I`m not here to clutter the bedroom
and this wind has got my tail

Chorus

Now I`m back to where I started
though my years have changed this place
Same old story of how I got here
Thought my prince would save the day

I didn`t have the nerve to keep on
pulling at the earth
Now I pull at the sheets in my sleep
and wake up
