Without The Light

Without The Light



Where my sorrow goes, there I'll be

Water runs up through my door

And washed me clean of my childhood

Dirt on the floor, a reminder



Well I can't tell you I'm not at all afraid

Crossing that river again on a boat

Takes in more than it floats on above



And silently moves to the bottom



And nowhere can I draw shadows

But I can see better without the light



Hard times give me your open arms

Make me a pallet to lie down on

And hold me so I won't try to run away

Cover my eyes for tomorrow



Used to be farther above me

And longer behind and darker and kind
