Even the guiding light of days In the loving underground Will find it's shady weather here today. I went upon the ledge And didn't find a soul around. Well that's just me, And who am I to say When it's all the same So many miles away. Now we're falling over all these chiefs And running out of braves. It's getting hard to know just what to say. Was a time when I could find Belief in Jesus saves. And so he came, And took it all away. I reckon he was saving For a rainy day. There's no way to touch upon This understanding had we known How close it was To be the sea of sand. And heaven knows, we had the time, And as I see, the only crime Was being just a little short of land. Send me home with a country song And leave it ringing round. Ask my friends, they know which one to play. And even the guiding light of days In the loving underground Will find it's shady weather here today. When it's all the same So many miles away.
