Dogs of Light

Old bender, blind at night
In the dark under black skies
Thread with light
Throwing holes into form
Like the tears of some shadow
Healing cut, not born to hang on
Across the pine

Arms not built to hold
The wide-open sky
But who ever heard
Of putting your own money on
The passenger weary with hurt
The passenger wear down with long?
'Cause this dark's bright

Born of light and born to fight
Honey, heaven's a ghost
Cut it and come back to life

Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright
Hold you 'til the night's gone

You see a white boy in blue
He's beaming straight towards you
He beats this blasted wind
Need to live, make believe
For you
'Cause whose blood is in the gulf?
Carries wine, carrying its own place
A prisoner of mine
But this dark's bright
Born of light and born to fight

Honey, heaven's my lust
Let go of your pride and come back to life
Come back to life

Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright

Hold you 'til the night's gone

Come back by my side

I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright

Hold you 'til the night's gone
Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright

Hold you 'til the night's gone
Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright

Hold you 'til the night's gone
Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright
Hold you 'til the night's gone
Come back by my side
I'm gonna leave the light on
Let it be alright
Hold you 'til the night's gone
