Hope is in your hand And it's pulling me out of the sandspit Oh son, oh man Come two by two Colored pink and blue Oh girl, my world But i wrote you a love song And i changed it to the third person And i hummed it under my breath as i made love to you But the lights turned out and the colors fled To a safer place to another bed So call me quietly down to you this evening Try to understand I am not a jealous man But you are light Babe, you are air Only he can restore me According to his mercy Oh son, oh man When i came to you - you were sleeping And when my train arrived - you were leaving We can break this ice and calm the seas of treason And i wish that i was a simple man With a father's heart and a lover's hand So call me quietly down to you this evening And baby if you want to be my love You're gonna have to learn how to trust And i know it isn't really all that tough It just seems to be I'm calling out your name in the storm You're laying in your bed safe and warm I never had a cause to do you harm It's just some lightning
