You could take a fall if you needed to
Just to feel the ground again
And breathe a little light in you
I’d be a post in that picket fence
Something for to lean on
Something strong to push against
It seems you’ve been a wanderer
And staked your claim
Maybe in another town
Maybe by a different name
You’ve had your taste of loneliness
You’ve seen it shine
But how far could love get you
If you took your time
You don’t have to lie to me
Just keep your heart where my eyes can see
And try to keep your light on
As hard as that may be
I know its been a long day
You’re getting lost in the things you say
But you could watch the sun shine
Maybe for the last time
It may wash that loneliness away
You’re running after pictures
That you strain to see
To the middle of the desert
The bottom of that haunted tree
You’re all alone now
No-one to say your name
Are you afraid of losing touch
Afraid of losing the game
You watch those loose ties
All come to an end
The grass on the riverside
Disappears around the slow bend
You’ve taken invitations
Spoke too soon
Leaves you lying in a strangers bed
In the corner of a strangers room
You don’t have to lie to me
I stayed awake through your bad dream
And I’m gonna keep this light on
Even if you don’t see
It may be just the time to stay
And live the life that you threw away
I know it's late and it’s hard to find
A clear picture though those foggy eyes
But pull the string and you see it all unwind
You could take a fall if you needed to
Just to feel the ground again
And breathe a little light in you
I’d be a post in that picket fence
Something for to lean on
Something strong to push against
