Let Myself Live

The night just got darker

The moon fell out of sight.

God's hopeful stars

Were drained of all their light

A dear friend of mine

Who fell on hard times

He thinks his house will clean

If he shares with me mine

I never dream of you a lonely man

I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands

Then when I got sick through the thin and then the thick

I turn my back and I let myself live

Well the nights only get longer

Before your sun will shine

Leave the clock alone my brother

Your enemy is time

Remember what the ramblin man said

On his way back home

Don't hang your head much longer

There's more pretty girls than one

I never dream of you a lonely man

I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands

Then when I got sick through the thin and then the thick

I turn my back and I let myself live
