lyrics

Part 1

If you leave a light on, I won't mind
If you leave a light on, I will find
All my bottles and saddle, gonna ride
All my bottles and saddle, gonna ride

I won't fight the battle, though you're not on my side
I won't fight the battle, though I'll die
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride

Yeah, I won't right the tall ships, even if they've capsized
I won't right the tall ships, let 'em lie
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride

Tell the stars to shine, I don't, I don't see the moon
Walk to mark the time
Oh my baby, oh my soul is fine, and it's mine.

I won't light the candle, it's too bright
No, I won't light the candle, not tonight
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride

I won't turn the handle, to look inside
No, I won't turn the handle, not tonight
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride
Want my bottles and saddle, gonna ride

Tell the stars to shine, I don't, I don't see the moon
Walk to mark the time
Oh my baby, oh my soul is fine, and it's mine.


Part 2

That's me coming out of fire
That's me walking on the wire
Hold tight, the wind is blowing cold
Hold tight, the embers now take hold

What's fierce about loving you so strong?
What's fierce about wanting to hold on?
Times change, but still I stay the same
Times change, one day nothing will remain

Take it in, but don't you take too long
Take it in, all the times that you've been wronged
Most folks do their wondering out loud
Most folks treat their thoughts just like a cloud

I heard about a little child
I heard how he drove his mama wild
I'll meet you somewhere down the street
I'll kick you and then I'll watch you bleed

Graceful and mighty full of peace
Graceful and frightened now of me
Ah the bother of living with the truth
Ah the bother of loyalty like Ruth's.

Look back to look at what you were
Look back, go on, take another tour
Face up, to look at lights so bright
Face up to the pain of living right

Oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh my
