Well I tried to reach the moon and ended up missing every star that dots the sky
Well I try to sing in tune but every time I do I start up a half step high
Yeah you might say I'm fond of travel
Seeing is I'm never stuck in place
No I ain't one to hang onto this world
In fact I'm mostly trying to keep up to pace yeah
Well I've searched and searched but cannot find a better way
To say these thoughts that race across my haunted mind
You see the smile I've grown to love it now rest upon the face I've learned to fear
It's awfully clear
But I've still my pal nothing yeah
Yeah he's a truer friend seeing he never strays
I know the odds are stacked against me child
Well I'll just have to roll on for better days
Oh when the night is growing cold
And there ain't no hand to hold
When a prayer is all you have
But that darkness still won't pass
Beware the cautionary tale
Oh if you never try you'll soak yourself and fail
It's a one on one of sorts yeah
So let crack the whip and cut the bullshit short
Feel the wind that fills your sails and paints an endless sea
She murmurs follow me
Can't you feel her whip around
She marvels at the sounds she makes when passing things
Oh tucked beneath that willow and safe from all those eyes to see I saw you skipping stones
And every rock that left you hand it was another teardrop in the sand
Lord I knew you were alone
But you don't have to speak of nothing you know he left us long ago
And in your eyes I see a beautiful tomorrow and a place I'd like to build a home
Oh when the night is growing cold
And there ain't no hand to hold
When a prayer is all you have
But that darkness still won't pass
