If One Of Us Gets Lost

better days

IF ONE OF US GETS LOST

I have learned to love the night
My blind girl loves the sun
She can see the dark and feel the light
And hear my spirit run
There's a shortcut through old Hekla's field
The quickest way across
To a ration shack that's well-concealed
If one of us gets lost, love
If one of us gets lost

No way to dance on fishes
No drinking but you're drunk
There's a wine-skin full of wishes
Locked inside my leaving trunk
There's a jar contains the medicine
So old it's sealed with moss
And mercy rains to meet your needs
If one of us gets lost, love
If one of us gets lost

What wisdom gave the rose a thorn
The night rider his cape
Some leave and never do return
In any human shape
There's a little boat we pray comes home
On a mighty storm it's tossed
Use a creature's coat to keep you warm
If one of us gets lost, love
If one of us gets lost

I have learned to love the night
My blind girl loves the sun
She can see the dark and feel the light
And hear my furies run
There's a shortcut through old Hekla's field
The quickest way across
Go, kiss the wound that won't be healed
If one of us gets lost, love
If one of us gets lost
