Tonight

                                  Just before my grave, Selah

With bones and weathered skin 

It’s a grave to sin afar

Afar from sheltered wings



So I sit and close my eyes 

And try to shake this chain

Shake the jingle-jangle dry

Evaporate the pain



But tonight, tonight

The stars in line

And it leaves a shade of wonder

Yes tonight, tonight

The star returns like thunder 



Crowded rooms and cheap cigars

You came inside my home

To erase the brutal scars and memories alone



But tonight, tonight

You look so bright 

And your smile returns a story

Yes tonight, tonight 

Your eyes transcend the glory 





Just before my grave, Selah 

The old and weathered sun

It’s a grave to sin afar

Rehearsed with wine and rum



But tonight, tonight

I leave this town as I shed my flesh desires

Yes tonight, tonight 

I leave your mind in fire
