Lights

So, and now
Untied to catch the eyes of strangers walking past me
Beacons on the way away
I’m glad to’ve come but cannot stay
And some nights I’m so young
I remember where I’m coming from
As the miles are slipping away

(Hey, hey)

Don’t go that way
Or you’re gonna go this alone
She says take me home

Another drink then
Watch the lightning words ignite the pastured ink
Like scattering leaves or shaping sands
Or holding out our empty hands
And in the streets there are lights on
So we can see what lies beyond
As the miles are slipping away

(Hey, hey)

Don’t go that way
Or you’re gonna go this alone
She says take me home
