The Overture of the Night
How the faithful was gathered to sing
As the tears swelled up inside me
Still down in a mournful rain.
And all sands of time stood still
As the procession climbed the hill
And off in the distance it's a mother run away
The father turned to say
Somebody shine a light, show me the way
Take me through the night to the break of day.
Won't you shine a light so I can see,
Lift up these chains of darkness and set me free.
Lookin' through the open window
I can see where I went wrong.
I quit searching for the rainbow,
Geronimos Cadillac
Out beyond the broken billboards and the signs along the road
There's a trail your heart must follow no one but you could ever know
Where the winds and the coyote sing a song you've never heard
From a place that's long forgotten but you'll remember every word
CHORUS:
In a world that's always changing find the things that stay the same
Like the moon and stars that guide you out across the sweeping plain
Keep your eye on the horizon when you cross that great divide
All you have is what's inside you when you take that lonesome ride
Forever ride, forever ride, forever ride?
So go to sleep now little brother, dream of red tails in the west
I know until you find your way there, your crazy soul will never rest
We'll chase the horses in the springtime, when the desert flowers bloom
You may never hear my footstep, but I will always be with you
REPEAT CHORUS
