lyrics

I was coming down, got a little sleep
And was woken by the sound of the pouring rain
It pounded down on the windscreen, washed the dirt from the road
And left that black tar clean again

The pretty feeling of the motion of those wheels
Made me feel I was free from the fight
But that’s all I have for you tonight

We were young then, hopping countries
Like they were stepping-stones across the sea
Running from the life I knew, but would never know again as true
Pulling lint from the chains that shackled me

Left my heart open to be broken many times
But I gained love too from flinging those gates wide
Buts that’s all I have for you tonight
All I have for you tonight
Don’t want you to see me in the cold morning light
All I have for you tonight

It ain’t no surprise that everything fell in a heap
That road I was walking was narrow and steep
So I pulled those gates closed, got myself on the road home
And here I am with the secrets I keep

And though I’m scared as hell of all the shit that I still hide
Maybe you’re the one to help pull these gates back open wide
But that’s all I have for you tonight
All I have for you tonight
Don’t want you to see me in the cold morning light
All I have for you tonight
