Travelin' down the highway there's a man headed west
He's looking for a better place to hide
Dreaming of the stars he calls the one who made them all
He's waiting on the end of his line
And I wait for you
To come
The days they grow longer now his bones are wearing thin
Like the fire that burns deep beneath his skin
The moon is glowing bright but now the skies are turning red
Some bones they say are better left for dead
And I wait for you
To come
And I wait for you
To come to me wash all my pain far away
And this lonely road is paved in gold on my way
All your diamond rings, your precious things you had on
You wear them well this road to hell that you're on
That you're on
The devil's at the end of the road
The fire it burns the minds of those who hold
These things we love will all fade away
Left only by the flame of those who stay
Then there shines a light over head
And it burns away the nights that we had said
If freedom is a land we must abide
We'll give our lives if only to survive
And I wait for you
To come
And I wait for you
To come to me I swear I see the light
All your darkest days, the dark and sleepless nights
Weary days will dawn like horses drawn away
And this road beyond, I swear I'm on, take me in
Oh take me in
The dark and sleepless nights
The nights spent full of fright
They now are empty and gone away
With the light of day
