Precious Cargo

My load was, oh, so light
The road was long and I travelled day and night
My feet were strong, and I’d walk through fire and ice
Searching for you
When I found you, I was scared
The road disappeared and I felt so unprepared
My strengths were down, and your words sounded just like a prayer
And they went right through me
You took my hand
Walked me out to see the Sun
I’ve been on this road forever
But the journey’s just begun
Empty vessels disappear out on the sea
But I’ve got precious cargo
And I'm keeping it with me
When things don’t go so well
When spirits fracture and tempers start to swell
I know she loves me and I love her as well
Things will be okay in the morning
When treasure comes your way
You grip it tight through blizzards and hurricanes
And in the dead of night when your demons keep you awake
She’ll pacify your burdens
I didn’t have much in my pocket
What was left soon disappeared
I spent it all in taverns, chasing whiskey down with beer
Gambling and wagering and looking for a fix
Now I’ve got precious cargo
And I'm not taking risks
We’re united, we’re connected, we’re a pair
Happiness is only real when it’s shared
So take the lead and I’ll follow you anywhere
If you let me
So let me take your hand
We’ll cast our shadows in the Sun
We’ve been on this road forever, but our journey’s just begun
I give to you my everything
But be careful what you do
'Cause I’ve got precious cargo
And now honey so do you
Honey, so do you
