Jerry Garcia - Just A Little Light lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you [Chorus] So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might To give you just a little sweetness Just a little sweetness Just a little light [Verse 2] I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight To give me just a little sweetness Just a little sweetness [x2] Just a little light [Bridge] This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights There's a tingling recognition Like the sound of distant thunder And I begin to wonder If the love I've driven under Won't ignite [Chorus] So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright Something shines around you that seems, to my delight To give me just a little sweetness Just a little sweetness [x2] Just a little light
