Lights
by Chris Rubeo
So, and now, untied to catch the eyes of strangers walking past me
Beacons on the way away
Im glad tove come but cannot stay
And some nights Im so young
I remember where Im coming from
As the miles are slipping away
(hey, hey)
Dont go that way
Or youre gonna go this alone
She says take me home
Another drink then watch the lightning words ignite the pastured ink
Like scattering leaves or shaping sands or holding out our empty hands
And in the streets there are lights on
So we can see what lies beyond
As the miles are slipping away
(hey, hey)
Dont go that way
or youre gonna go this alone
She says take me home

Lights

by Chris Rubeo

So, and now, untied to catch the eyes of strangers walking past me

Beacons on the way away

Im glad tove come but cannot stay

And some nights Im so young

I remember where Im coming from

As the miles are slipping away

(hey, hey)

Dont go that way

Or youre gonna go this alone

She says take me home

Another drink then watch the lightning words ignite the pastured ink

Like scattering leaves or shaping sands or holding out our empty hands

And in the streets there are lights on

So we can see what lies beyond

As the miles are slipping away

(hey, hey)

Dont go that way

or youre gonna go this alone

She says take me home
