Lyrics
The Man I've Sometimes Been
There's a light down in the canyon
Flickering against the walls
The flame from my campfire
Keeps me warm when darkness falls
Keeps me warm when darkness falls
There's a light on your front porch
Shining bright for all to see
A tiny light amidst the darkness
Shows the path to you for me
It lights the path to you for me
In the darkness are the ghosts
of the things that I have seen
and the darkest corners of the the heart
of the man I've sometimes been.
There are lights up in the night sky
Billions of stars we rarely see
Lights to guide each of us homeward
To the places we long to be
To the places we long to be
In the darkness are the ghosts
of the things that I have seen
and the darkest corners of the the heart
of the man I've sometimes been.
There are lights up in the night sky
Billions of stars we rarely see
Lights to guide each of us homeward
To the places we long to be
To the loved ones we long to see
To the loved ones we long to see
