Horse to Water

The night sky had broken, the new year had spoken

I was beside myself, I stood out in the cold

In an empty parking lot, my breath was streaming hot

I willed the car to start to bring me home to you

Oh, lead me back from the darkness like you do

Before I knew you, I lived in the rearview

To wish back an image of myself I thought was true

So now when colors fade and on that day of days

I needed you to say it wasn't one to rue

Oh, and lead me back from the darkness like you do

Headlights and cold rain distorting the dark panes

Wipers clicking and my thoughts they followed suit

And I felt like Willy Loman, the mighty plans I'd spoken

Guess they were illusions of a man who dreamed too big

But I remember you dancing in autumn when we met

You won't believe I saw it then so many years ago

There was something about you I struggled to forget

My blood was rushing down to you

You were leadin’ me back from the darkness like you do

Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do

Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do

Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do

Leading me back like a horse to water knowing I'd refuse

'Cause you're a wanderer too
