Bonnie Prince Billy - No Match Lyrics

I'm no match for honest men
And I am no match for lairs
I'm no match for those who have given up
When they are feeling tired

Can't put me up against the man
Who lets ills fate just be
I'm no match for those who love the Lord
And they are no match for me

I've been a long time finding out
Oh, where I don't belong
And it's hard to say it's not escape
When I'm hanging right here in sorrow

Well, I love my dreams, God knows I do
And there's some of them, all of me
And there's raging through waking life will prove
Loving dreams keeps one youthful and free

Good god guides us, bad god leaves us
Good sea hides us, good earth gives
And good love fills us, bad love bleeds us
And bad fire kills us all, let me live

Honesty is a hindrance
When you want to be what's true
You can be a match for me
I'll be a match for you

I'll stand here and shout it down
And the ripple with the stream
Surrounded by such violent light
Showering over this wild refrain

The road of earth, the patch of time
As bad god leaves us free
Well, age may be a match for you
But it's no match for me
