lyrics

Sleep easy
That’s all I will ask of you now
Knock the light out
Let it slide take a ride up the right coast
In the morning

Another chapter will unravel at your door
Like the wind you’ve been waiting for
To sail you through
The burning blues

Fair enough
That’s how this world will treat us
Until it frees us
Breaks us down
To the essence of why we are living
What we’re giving

Something most of us ignore
But you’ve tasted nothing so strong before
We taste it too
The burning blues

Let’s throw some knives
Change some lives in the meantime
Have a mean time
For the wolves at night
And the blood moon on that horizon
Feel it rising

We heard that you were born to carry the torch
Well we loaded up and surrendered on the porch
Taken by the views
Of the burning blues

Captured by the views
Of the burning blues
