lyrics

The wind is blowing over the hill
The raindrops stirring the birds of the field
And I was absolutely hurting for love
The mountains raised like a curtain above

I saw the past like a river
That river enraged
With nowhere for certain to rest for the day
I was drifting in that river enough
I would have stayed there forever lighting it up

But I can’t shine
If I don’t glow
Peace of mind
Light this soul
Though all my crimes
Built this road
I don’t have to walk alone

The moon like an elbow resting in space
I wonder who’s looking down on our face
Sometimes I feel like an angel who got on the wrong bus
But then you know I’m that devil inside all of us

And I can’t shine
If I don’t glow
Peace of mind
Light this soul
Though all my crimes
Built this road
I don’t have to walk alone

I sought to leave this old world
I was just saving face
With nowhere for certain
To rest for the day
Then I saw I was leaving
Some kind of grace
The mountains revealing
Sunlight on my faith

I can’t shine
If I don’t glow
Peace of mind
Light this soul
And all these crimes built this road
We still shine even though
And we don’t have to walk alone
