Lonely light

The days are numbered and the nights pull strong
All my shoes can do is pace the floor
My heart's encumbered with the right and wrong
And the light that shines from underneath the door

It's been so long since I called you home
What do I believe, what do I believe
Come to think, you're just about all I've ever known
Guess that's why I need you there to love

It's time I filled my sails and rode them rusty rails
To look for me again in the lonely light
Where the night trains blow cold steel
And my daydreams wreck what's real
I'll remember how you feel in the lonely light

There was a time when our love was lord
And all we cared for were the seeds we'd sown
So it seems a crime to cut the cord
And expect you to believe that I ain't grown

But the closer we get the farther I drift away
What do I believe, what do I believe
In its happiness smiles and the dogs all have their day
I just need to catch a rail

It's time I filled my sails and rode them rusty rails
To look for me again in the lonely light
Where the night trains blow cold steel
And my daydreams wreck what's real
I'll remember how you feel in the lonely light

It's all I can do to look me in the eye
My love for you just won't crawl away
To see so far and be so blind
I guess it's just the price I have to pay

It's time I filled my sails and rode them rusty rails
To look for me again in the lonely light
Where the night trains blow cold steel
And my daydreams wreck what's real
I'll remember how you feel in the lonely light

In the lonely light
