Darkness and the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Colorado was so nice, but I'm Minnesota's son Even when the cold winds blow in the darkness and the light And the young folks search for meaning here and the old folks know there's none Out your window you can see the world, babe, it's turning, and it's gone [Chorus] And the stars at night Why do they make you cry? Don't you think that I'll be coming home? [Verse 2] Well it's not like sunny Monterey in all the Steinbeck books you read Where the hobos know the secrets and the law just turns their head Where we are is close to paradise and though you might not hear it said And the Methodists all bring a dish to share with the ashes on their head [Chorus] And when the sun's in the sky We'll have a class outside Why do you think that I can be so cold? [Bridge] I'm not scared of much here anymore Wait, friends, that was a lie Cause I'm scared to death of losing you To be alone, high and dry [Chorus] And I know you worry About time and money But don't you know those things They come and go? [Instrumental Outro]
