lyrics

I navigate by moonshine
Get blinded by the sun
And take an oath to walk the line
Until my days are done

This old heart was torn and tough
The flame burned without heating
This callous tongue raw and rough
Till bitterness sweetened

When too much faith in tuneless time
Sold me up the flow
Good love graced my fading mind
Goodness why who knows?

All my demons burn through
I accept that fate
‘Cause it never concerns you
You shake that old cross off
You share the weight

I dreamed a world of breathless height
Where the penniless were preaching
That anyone who braved a fight
For doing right would reach them

But my dream became a seamless night
Lit by fiery rain
Dark enveloping the lightning
Till no flash remained

And that’s when you came

All my demons...

In thirty years we’ll reminisce
Wedged up on the sofa
This tattered pic of our first kiss
Snapped in Barcelona

If only all that’s left of time
Lay along our row,
I could say how right the way
Gratitude will show:

I love you more than you’ll ever know

All my demons...

A man who walks by moonshine
Is blinded at the dawn
And takes an oath to travel light
Until the light is gone
