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 I felt like Willy Loman, the mighty plans I'd spoken Guess they were illusions of a man who dreamed too big Oh, 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 Oh, 'cause you're a wanderer too
