Caught in a whirlwind of
broken sticks and bones
an alphabet of hurricanes
can't blow this drifter home
and a train kicks up snow across
this cold New Mexico
and as I cross the Rio Grande
I finally let you go
to fall into the icy streams
different lives and different dreams
and we go lightly on our way
yes you go lightly on the same
woke up in Kansas from a
dream of burning ships
and I still taste the ocean, girl
and you on my lips
but I can't seem to change the way
this story wants to play
life is in the living
not the telling anyway
press myself to the glass
silver moon lights up my path
as I go lightly on my way
and you will go lightly on the same
yes you go lightly on your way
shaken by a broken rail in
Princeton Illinois
with time to kill I drank my fill
gave the jukebox all my coins
this one's for the friends I lost
the one I've left behind
No, this one's not for you, I take it back
change my mind
music drifts into the night
calls? in me and says it's time
to go lightly on your way
you will lightly on the same
yes you go lightly on your way
sunset on the hudson turns this
city into gold
stolen El Dorado it ain't mine,
it sure ain't yours
I've been here for every season
somehow you forget
you claim this city for yourself
well take it, it's my gift
There's nothing left to divide
you take the days, I'll take the nights
and we'll go lightly on our way
and you will go lightly on the same
yes you go lightly on your way
and I will go lightly on the same
Caught in a whirlwind of
broken sticks and bones
an alphabet of hurricanes
can't blow this drifter home
can't blow this drifter home
can't blow this drifter home
can't blow this drifter home
