เพลง Two Lights (Live at House of Blues)

what is courage

is it brave

what are lions

i've only seen them in parades

how is love supposed to read

in a footnote of history

what's a tap on your shoulder

that you're afraid to look over

a soldier's down in a fire fight

no one can look me in the eye

this is what it means to be alone.

tear out my heart

feed it to lions

for this one wish i beg you this tonight

show me no mercy

but spare me my pride

i'm going for a drive

and if you find out he's coming home

when i come around the corner

i'll know that it's alright

just leave me two lights

he was young just 23

didn't have to go

but it was the man he wanted to be

like every son he was an only one

one day he came to me, said

freedoms nothing to look over

till each man can stand upon its shoulder

i'll right you mountains of letters

each one a little bit better

and know i'll never be alone

tear out my heart

feed it to lions

for this one wish i beg you this tonight

show me no mercy

but spare me my pride

i'm going for a drive

and if you find out he's coming home

when i come around the corner

i'll know that it's alright

leave me two lights

silent angels

light the road up ahead

as the sentries guard the way

on the avenue of borrowed time

i'm almost home

the sun's to rise

i got to know

i've been driving all the night

there's our corner up ahead

i'm alive and i am dead

i drive right through the stop sign

i turn my head

as i lift my eyes

my eyes burn

tear out my heart

feed it to lions

for this one wish i beg you this tonight

show me no mercy

spare me my pride

i'm going for a drive
