Lyrics

In the hunger of our youth with the drinking of desire
Life was played out on the radio trying not to extinguish the fire
As I held you to my chest in the comfort of my flannel shirt
And I whispered to you through your hair
I was sorry for the pain & hurt I gave you

When I was building battlements supporting all my views
Mistaken & just holding on to my self-righteous attitudes
Remember through the lightening & the thunder of dispute

I would drive through ice & snow
Convince the Northern lights to glow
Make the dried up rivers flow
Even if you told me to go
Oh, darling, I'll still be here holding on for you

In the drifting of our lives, in the shifting of the dark & light
As we sifted through philosophies & we could not change without a fight
As I tried to help you smile, turn a sleeve to wipe away your tears
As the sunlight shaped your silhouette
I tried to free you from all the despair I brought you

When I was building battlements...

I would drive through ice & snow...
