Praying Hard

Turning off the light upon the west

Raise another toast among the rest

And time will tell

We'll wait and see, wait and see

Years go by and take what they want

Leaving me with what I really needed all along

Days arrive; there's nowhere to hide

I'm catching on to how the rival never sleeps

(I can tell by the hours they keep)

Praying hard

Lost some precious coins along the way

Words that never saw the light of day

Oh tears of time

You live in me, live in me

Years go by and take what they want

Leaving me with what I really needed all along

And it's no time to be alone

Drifting carelessly toward endless sleep

(And I think I can feel the fire beneath the street)

Years go by and take what they want

Leaving me with what I really needed all along

Sometimes it hurts my eyes to see

And then again, the path of suffering is always bittersweet

('Cause there's a light unto my feet)

Praying hard
