Tonight

Just before my grave, Selah

With bones and weathered skin

It’s a grave to sin afar

Afar from sheltered wings

So I sit and close my eyes

And try to shake this chain

Shake the jingle-jangle dry

Evaporate the pain

But tonight, tonight

The stars in line

And it leaves a shade of wonder

Yes tonight, tonight

The star returns like thunder

Crowded rooms and cheap cigars

You came inside my home

To erase the brutal scars and memories alone

But tonight, tonight

You look so bright

And your smile returns a story

Yes tonight, tonight

Your eyes transcend the glory

Just before my grave, Selah

The old and weathered sun

It’s a grave to sin afar

Rehearsed with wine and rum

But tonight, tonight

I leave this town as I shed my flesh desires

Yes tonight, tonight

I leave your mind in fire
