I'm Standing in the Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I set fire to an apple tree
And I put it back out like a bad memory
Yeah, I washed my hands in the flood
Well, I took a sip of the trouble I've stirred
And I spit it back out like a four letter word
Yeah, I lost my head in the fire
Well, I sat up high on the walls we built
And I felt just like a fool on stilts
But I just can't get down
Olives and a pair of eyes
Are floating in my glass
And nothing ever seemed so strange
But this I know will pass
I've seen as far as the eye can see
And I blew my mind in the lottery
Yeah, I lost my chance
Well, I've been told about the fiery skies
And I've told my fair share of lies
But I believe in mine
Well, I've known folks as smart as dogs
And I've known folks like bumps on logs
And they're all fine by me
Blue skies and my share of love
Are somewhere in the past
And nothing worth anything
Is strong enough to last
Well, I've done my time for the ills I've caused
And I've paid my dues in the bets I've lost
And I've got room enough to cry
Well, I've seen out as far as my eyes can see
And I've tried my hand at the mystery
Yeah, I walked in the land of the blind
Yeah I made my bed in which I lie
And I burned the bridge to the other side
And I'm standing in the light
Yeah, I'm standing in the light
