[Verse 1] Don't condescend, you could never pretend You can spit, you can spend, you could never pretend There is a sign that you've run out of time Now you're chewing the rind and you've run out of time [Chorus] And you know there is a place you can rest There is night and a drum in your chest And a help for your hand in the war There is home and a bed that is yours There is home and a bed that is yours [Verse 2] I've seen you weep, seen the black that you keep
Like a pet in the basement that howls at the moon You fill my mind with a thousand bright diamonds You look like a lion to my failing eyes [Chorus] And you know there is a place you can rest There is night and a drum in your chest And a help for your hand in the war There is home and a bed that is yours There is home and a bed that is yours [Outro] Looking back, was it all that he said it would be? Was it light in the evening? Was it all that he said it would be?
