Light Up Ahead

lyrics

I saw you standing on the side of the road
With your hung up eyelids and your heavy load
You were saying, "I'm leaving this world"
I was thinking that life's too unkind to little girls
But the sky is a sea and the moon is a boat
And we ain't sailing, baby, we're merely afloat
You are just too young to understand
So come here, darlin', and take my hand

There's a light up ahead and I'm reaching for it
In the end we all end up dead
It's what you do between to make it feel like it was worth it

Are you still laughing? Do you ever smile?
I haven't seen you in quite awhile
Are you still driving your ferry boat to hell
Or were the fires put out? Is it it just as well
To go on living like nothing's wrong
To go on smiling all the day long?
Sometimes there ain't no joy left at all
But you won't ever believe what I just saw

There's a light up ahead and I'm basking in it
Won't you follow me to bed?
This exhaustion's cutting deep, and I just can't ignore it.
