When the wind blows you home
To the shores of home

Who killed another man

When the wind blows you home
To the shores of home
Will you be one
Who killed another man
Killed another man
Killed another man
Killed another man

If I can make it through this life
If I can make it through this life
If I can make it
If I can make it
I’ll never kill another man
As my time rolls out
As my time rolls out
If I can make it
If I can make it
I’ll never kill another man with these hands
Never kill another man
