Travels & Trunks - The Lower Lights Lyrics

It took so long to put words to this song
'Cause they just didn't come out right
And the fire of my youth was the first thing I did loose
Well it cut me like a knife

But if I had a wild young heart that could bleed
I would ask you for forgiveness
And to have some mercy on me

Baby, no no no no no
Now don't you know

That I know your heart is on fire
For all those boys and the Saturday nights
But if you see them lower lights
Let them guide your way home
Through the night

Are your hands still shaking?
And does your head keep pounding out
Like my head keeps pounding out?

And does your wild young heart still bleed
To the same sweet songs that your mother had sung
To put you to sleep?

Baby, no no no no no
I don't sleep at all

Since I've seen your heart is on fire
For all them boys on a Saturday night
But if you see them lower lights
Let them guide your way home
Through the night

Like I used to guide you, my Maria
But don't you see that it's enough
That I lost so much blood
On them nights like this

I've seen your heart was on fire
For all them boys and the Saturday nights
But if you see them lower lights
Let them guide you on your way home
Through the night

But I lost too much blood
Yeah I lost so much blood
