See Me Through

All around me the shadows of women and men

They all walk right through me and I walk through them

And I cast my mind back and I cannot believe that I’m

One of the lucky ones you happened to see

See me through

I got trouble on the Mainline

See me through

‘Til the scales fall from my eyes

See me through

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’

Where are the statues, colossal and bronze

That stood at the gates of our great love and kept watch

And now over the hills, over the horizons somebody’s army advances

I had faith in you darlin,’ even when I questioned our chances

See me through

I got trouble on the Mainline

See me through

‘Til the scales fall from my eyes

See me through

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’

I woke up this evening so lonesome and torn

In the blackberry blackness bitter-sweetness and thorns

And I cast my mind back on the love that we made and I need to believe that

There’s some kind of plan with all of this pain it’s getting harder to see it

See me through

I got trouble on the Mainline

See me through

‘Til the scales fall from my eyes

See me through

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
