Meet Me In The Dark

Melissa Etheridge · Lucky [2004]

Keep your eyes down

Keep your head lowered

Keep to yourself dear

Do not tell a soul



You know it's wrong

What they've been saying

You knew it all along

That I would have to go



Find a place where light

shines on my reflection

A place where I can

stand up on my own



Now down on my knees

Until then please...



(Chorus)

Meet me in the dark

Meet me in the shadows

Past the old graveyard

Down Eisenhower road

Meet me where the storms

blow out on their own dear

Meet me in the dark

Never let me go



I know everyone

has their unspoken fear

It eats away their senses

And their humanity



They carry all their secrets

Every night down to the river

And they try so hard to drown them

They won't do that to me



Cause I'm working hard

saving all my money

And the tips in this jar

will buy a brand new set of wings

For my Mercury

Until then please



(chorus)



I could never hide this little light of mine

If God made a mistake

then I should die before I wake

Maybe it's my fate

to swim against this tide

Swallowing my pride



Keep your eyes down

Say that you don't know me

For I could not survive

If they took you away
