lyrics

Baby, you tell me I'm a traveling man,
and I'm betting it all on what I've got in my hands.
You can have it all.

If you don't mind taking it from me,
I won't need it back, won't ask for anything.
No, no I won't.

In the night, we find ourselves on the road
where the light we made draws us home.
The hands they calm, with the rise and fall
passed the paths we move on.

Baby, you tell me I'm the only man
who sees the people all around doing the best that they can
to make things last.
But they won't last.

When all you know is all that you see,
you never wonder what it is that makes a man so free.
You only know when or how or why they get gone

What are we doing here if we're not doing it right?

We find ourselves on the road
where the light we made draws us home.
The hands they calm, with the rise and fall
passed the paths we move on.

We move on.
