Just a Little Light |
Well, there ain’t nobody safer than someone who doesn’t care |
And it isn’t even lonely when no one’s ever there |
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true |
The honey’s sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you |
So you know I’ve been a soldier in the armies of the night |
And I’ll find the fatal error in what’s otherwise alright |
But here you’re trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might |
To give you just a little sweetness |
Just a little sweetness |
Just a little light |
I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward |
But it never comes so easy when you’re living by the sword |
It’s even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way |
You’re as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away |
Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite |
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright |
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight |
To give me just a little sweetness |
Just a little sweetness |
Just a little light |
This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night |
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights |
There’s a tingling recognition |
Like the sound of distant thunder |
And I begin to wonder |
If the love I’ve driven under |
Won’t ignite |
So you know I’ve been a soldier in the armies of the night |
And I’ll find the fatal error in what’s otherwise alright |
Something shines around you that seems, to my delight |
To give me just a little sweetness |
Just a little sweetness |
Just a little light |
