Indigo Girls - Yoke lyrics

I found the binding of the yoke That connects us here, in this herd of hope Escort me to your kingdom come From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done You stole so much, so much at times Just being bad, like the books we read The helplessness that you played upon Was just tenderness, to disarm She ushered in love, but it drove you mad Not to have everything of your envisioning She wandered in on the peace you lacked Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had Tell that story one more time for me Of the baited fields just for the taking dear Where you heard the hunter's call But your discipline kept you from the fall But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands I'd shoot anything And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight And you hold your nightmares close from view The horses going wild, under a breaking moon There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
