I'm Standing in the Light

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
