Recorded by Dust Richards. Kind of a "band" version of this tune"
lyrics
Wake up, breath in. It's enough to begin again
Scrape off yesterdays sin-cerely faults belong to no one.
If only the sun could outshine your love.
So I'm calling out to the hilltops, "Show me tears before I fall!"
And forget to finish this song; before short turns into long.
But always, always keep your light on...
Always, always
My dame is writing her chapters as I'm writing her into mine.
She's a stranger in this line, and we're stuck doing time
Smoke's rolling out the alleys like ghosts from the old 80's movies
I watched back when I was seven, and you were...
Always, always keepin' your light on
always, always keepin' your light on
always, always...
[Outro medley]
Two cigarettes and a breathless chest
I walk under the umbrella of fall.
But without you I don't know why I walk at all.
Always, always keep your light on
Always, always keep your light on
There will be times, you'll be picking out your fight
And I'll be standing beside you
Through every punch and blackened eye
Teeth kicked to the curbside
The flashing lights, the cool reign down on your thunder
giving up the fight, but I will shine on you.
And every night you're sinking down and drowning out, there will be someone feeling the same as you do.
Two cigarettes and a breathless chest
I walk under the umbrella of fall.
But without you I don't know why I walk at all.
