My feet plow on
From light to dawn
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain?t hard to take
Next to the weight
I carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip the scale that I?ve made
I should have stayed
But I was never wise
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
And I pray to whatever is listening things?ll be all right
Oh, my boy, you're alive
Your heart's still beating
So don?t you mind, don?t you mind
We all drift sometimes
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
Knowing you won?t be back doesn?t mean that I will stop waiting
You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire
But don?t you dare hold me back
Whoa?
I see your face's in the clouds that scar the night
And I pray to whoever is listening things?ll be all right
Then today I wake up feeling easy
And find I?m on the more familiar roads
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
But now it ain?t so hard to let it go
So keep a candle burning in the window
I?m almost home
