The Avett Brothers - Let Myself Live lyrics

The night just got darker the moon fell out of sight. God's hopeful stars were drained of all their light A dear friend of mine who fell on hard times He thinks his house will clean if he shares with me mine I never dream of you a lonely man I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands Then when I got sick through the thin and then the thick I turn my back and I let myself live Well the nights only get longer before your sun will shine Leave the clock alone my brother your enemy is time Remember what the ramblin man said on his way back home Don't hang your head much longer there's more pretty girls than one I never dream of you a lonely man I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands Then when I got sick through the thin and then the thick I turn my back and I let myself live
