For The Little While

I wish I was something you would never forget

But I just gotta tell you I'm like everybody else

You painted me white like a saint on the rise

But I stayed in my place

Every road led to nowhere, every field's left with no green

Every wind told me something I would never want to hear

And there is darkness up above me

Through these trees I feel this rain a-coming

I'm alone, I won't belong in any place you could call home

There's no halo behind my face and there's no air beneath my feet

I can feel your pain and if you cut me I can bleed

You listen to my words as you could not understand

But they didn't make sense

Every road led to nowhere, every eye could see the scene

Every man and every woman, every plant and every tree

They could all see right inside me

Through my eyes I see this rain a-falling

Now you know, you can be sure

There ain't no place I can call home

But for the little while I'll be here I'd love to feel you near

For the little while I'll be here I've got to lend an ear

'Cause if you can believe you'll see the snow that starts to burn

For the little while you'd led me home
