In a shade too low for an eye that's blue you need to know your entire life is in front of you take my hand just for today and the desert sand can bring me down to the worms of prey and away she goes I hope he sees the casting glow now a part of him that's unknown to me in a distant land a car breaks down oh, wrathful lamb erupting the sea please don't let me drown
I'm not a child he's just a man if you turn me away I'll try to stand and I'll stand up straight at least I'll pretend you'll talk to me and still be my friend all the love I have inside of me runs out the ghost that threatens to be in control of my thoughts and all I've got to defend
I have found when people pray and nothing's around to call off the guards they'll fight anyway you have to know it's cold outside when you're all alone and the coals burn out I'll keep you warm and dry you have to know I'll make a deal my back can go for the rest of my time so long as we are sealed
I'm not a child he's just a man if you turn me away I'll try to stand and I'll stand up straight at least I'll pretend you'll talk to me and still be my friend all the love I have inside of me runs out the ghost that threatens to be in control of my thoughts and all I've got to defend
