about

Second radio single The Sick-Leaves fourth album Breaking Away, releasing 23rd January 2012.

lyrics

I’ve been waiting for
You to come around
It has been quite a while
Since you’ve gone underground

When you follow the signs
Don’t cross that yellow line
And come through to the other side and see me
Going out of my mind

Call on the night
To keep us alive
Remember the days
When they died with their boots on

And as the rain set in
You disappeared
They died with their boots on
To never be seen again

Running in
With it all to lose
A deafening sound
brought some bad news

Call on the night
To keep us alive
Remember the days
When they died with their boots on

Words don’t heal
And bombs don’t feel
I called your name
A sniper took aim

Coming out of the woods
They died with their boots on
Climbing over fallen comrades
They died with their boots on
