Joe Henry - See Me Home lyrics

I don't need a moon that's full To feel its curse, its weight, its pull And I don't need the riverbed To push my dreams above my head And I don't need the falling day To find me on the floor this way Where reason turns its face away But I might need you soon To see me home I don't know how the rising tide Has crawled my knees and found my side I don't know how it knows my name Or the reaching shadow of my frame I don't know why it's come to call And steals the color from the wall Then sweeps us both out in the hall But I know I'll need you soon To see me home Take my hand Walk me through the valley I'll fear not, with the sun to warm my face There we'll stand In the light of all that shall be Knowing home has never been a place Something has come over me Rolled a stone away and free Scratched a word into the sand With something still here in my hand It's something neither you nor I While dark has slipped beneath the skies It's lit a lamp behind our eyes And I know I'll need you soon To see me home Oh I know I'll need you soon To see me home
