Even the Darkness Has Arms

歌詞

I was holding my breath When the tightrope walker Slipped into the moonglow Saying all my children follow me Maybe it's time to go You can be chrome when you're wise Can be wise when you're blue And baby if I have, then I have for you Bribing the jury to keep me in jail Singing "Tea for the Tillerman" And although I lie fantastically I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see You can be wrong when you're right Even when you're right on cue And if I die tonight, then I die for you Calling on those that call me son Great-grandson, or grandson Great uncles, aunts and relatives To judge what I have done Gonna make right by you Even if it's all I do And if it's all I do, then I do for you People will raise a whole lot of hell about The water and the wind-mill And although I stab chaotically It hurts no one but me Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you Baby, I have it, and I have you too And a light in the window To pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know How to love you I was breakin the law when the knight (?) When the straw hit the whipperwill (Missing line) oh I oh I oh I do Hungry enough to kill Wherever the white dove goes It goes unseen And he sees below And he knows you're dreamin I bring to you with reverant hands All the books that my love abides Kind woman that my passion wore Like the shoreline wears the tides Maybe the water went dry Keeping an eye on you And with an eye on you, it could drown me too People will raise a whole lot of hell about The water and the wind-mill I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you Baby, I have it, and I have you too And a light in the window To pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know How to love you
