Well, I set fire to an apple tree And I put it back out like a bad memory. Yeah, I washed my hands in the flood. Well, I took a sip of the trouble I've stirred And I spit it back out like a four letter word. Yeah I lost my head in the fight. Well, I sat up high on the walls we built And I felt just like a fool on stilts. But I just can't get down. Olives and a pair of eyes Are floating in my glass. And nothing ever seemed so strange, But this I know will pass. I've seen as far as the eye can see. And I blew my mind in the lottery. Yeah, I lost my chance. Well, I've been told about the fiery skies. And I've told my fair share of lies, But I believe in mine. Well, I've known folks as smart as dogs And I've known folks like bumps on logs And they're all fine by me. Blue skies and my share of love Are somewhere in the past. And nothing worth anything Is strong enough to last. Well, I've done my time for the ills I've caused And I've paid my dues in the bets I've lost And I've got room enough to cry. Well, I've seen out as far as my eyes can see And I've tried my hand at the mystery. Yeah, I walked in the land of the blind. Yeah I made my bed in which I lie And I burned the bridge to the other side. And I'm standing in the light. Yeah I'm standing in the light.
