lyrics

The moon in the sky
has turned a blind eye.
I ain’t hidin’.
I’m just here for the lights.

I’m just here for the night.
The ocean has called.
Tomorrow I’ll find
what I was looking for.

The river will do.
It’s shallow and through.
It ripples and breaks,
but it’s not far enough away.
It’s never far enough away.

The moon in the sky
has turned a blind eye.
I ain’t hidin’.
I’m just here for the lights.

I’m just here for a time.
I know it don’t make sense
who lives and who dies,
and who’s memories last.

Put your hands in my coat.
It’s a cold night.
Move away from the crowd,
I’m just here for you now.

The moon in the sky
has turned a blind eye.
I ain’t hidin’.
I’m just here for the lights.

I’ll see you tomorrow.
I know you are tired.
I’ll turn the sound down,
and close your door for a while.

Behind the fires and trees,
Between the valleys and streams,
the world was not meant for me.
I’m just here for a while.

One of the most heart-wrecking, redemptive, perfect albums I've ever heard. Every time I play it I feel like I've been dismantled and rebuilt. And I do it again and again. Patrick
