St. James

This is the story of a man Who conquered life, drink in hand Ship unmanned Marked by genius, channeled good By some, a bit misunderstood They'd been wrong many times before [Chorus] Sometimes our saints are sinners They blur the lines and lead the way, their way Raise hell and a glass in reverence The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints [Verse 2] Never a stranger to late nights Snake bite, fist fights, and empty pints Unrivaled heights He led with songs, they sang along Created bonds that held so strong Some were right and some were wrong [Chorus] Sometimes our saints are sinners They blur the lines and lead the way, their way Raise hell and a glass in reverence The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints [Bridge] It's by the sea and at night's end That's when the sin and swill begin That's when he had that certain light inside his head For every whisper, he would scream For every draught, he'd share a drink For every sorrow, there's a light from our St. James On the sea, by the cliffs, he watches He waits the night to see the day, his way Last call will find us all But there's a light that leads away Our way [Chorus] Sometimes our saints are sinners They blur the lines and lead the way, their way Raise hell and a glass in reverence The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints
