Stole a moment blind and quaking with fear from a shooting star that no-one else could see We made it through the night despite the tide coming near where we slept by the violent sea I remember walking the hot train tracks of my old hometown where we forgave each other all future sins In a moment of silence we made that vow we were happy not to have to repent They don't know what we've come to know and that's alright it's just as well Pushed my wheelbarrow full of rage into the Valley Of Gold the walls of bodies absorbed my heartache and kept me from getting cold I remembered every song I had ever sung and I played them with a crazed heart I remembered every bridge I had ever burned I remembered every end and every start and they don't know what we've come to know that's alright it's just as well

Speed past the fleeing light Chase back the distance of your long shadow lines Every town we're driving through we're hearing church bells ring Speed past the ringing bells. Feeling so stuffed in like a cannonball Listening to the radio, a preacher with a southern drawl, Man, he's been saying somethings that aint been making too much sense to me but since i left my baby aint too much making sense to me. 'cause I've been, high and lonesome feeling just like, i'm just passing by 'cuase i've been, high and lonesome feeling just like a comet in the sky. And if I could make love to you you know that every single one of my nerves would tingle but i aint got no time for love i'm just passing through these towns, weaving through these people 'cause I've been, high and lonesome feeling just like, i'm just passing by 'cuase i've been, high and lonesome feeling just like a comet in the sky. Speed past the fleeing light Chase back the distance of your long shadow lines Every town we're driving through we're hearing church bells rings Speed past the ringing bells. Every highway hotel with a neon vacancy sign, Speed past every new sign Speed past the fleeing light Speed past the fleeing light

take my chances by and by I have walked these streets like a million times I will take my chances I'll be fine don't you worry darlin' I took my chances crossing burning bridges I took my chance then I'll do it again I will take my chances I'll be fine don't you worry darlin' I paid my tab then I flipped over the table got myself kicked out just because I was willing and able to reject my jury to choose my fate to find my way out before it was too late I took my chances earning five and dime I took my chances I paid for my time I didn't mind it the quietest way I just dreamed I wandered the streets of this holy town holy vacant sidewalks holy rumbling sound holy hawks a climbin' the holy wind holding hands of strangers absorbing their sin holy rolling idols in their holy houses all perched above me and holding me down where I held my baby pulled in my doubt we're going crazy but we're holding out I will take my chances retrace my steps I'll take my chances on promises kept I'll take my chances and do it again don't you worry darlin'
