about

This just didn't quite make it to the Always In My Heart album. I just just couldn't get it quite right, but I'm pleased because it's changed a lot since I wrote it..

lyrics

You know it’s gonna come, just as night follows day
An injustice that is done, one day will be repaid
Just as eye for an eye, yeah a tooth for the truth
You'll never rest in peace, cos it’s coming for you

And now you’ll have to live, with one eye over your shoulder
Always looking back...

The time will come, though it may not be now
Never know when, ya never know how
May not be a bullet, may not even be your blood
May be the hand of karma, but you know it’s gonna come

And now you’ll have to live, with one eye over your shoulder
Always looking back...

It’s gonna get tiresome, be a pain in your neck
Looking over your shoulder, again and again (and again and again)
Gonna get twisted, gonna get bent out of shape
They’re all gonna know, the decision that you made yeah

And now you’ll have to live, with one eye over your shoulder
Always looking back...

Gonna be times, when you think it’s just a hoax
When you think it’s over, and it maybe was a joke
A heavy cross to bear, gonna cut deep into you
An evil deed been done, it’s gonna eat into your soul

And now you’ll have to live, with one eye over your shoulder
Always looking back...
