THE BARR BROTHERS lyrics : "Even the Darkness Has Arms"

I was holding my breath
When the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow
Saying all my children, follow me

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GO

You can be cruel when you're wise

You can be wise when you're blue
And baby, if I have
Then I have for you


Bribing the jury to keep me in jail
Singing tea for the tiller man

And although I lie fantastically
This woman knows of my history
IT'S A MIRACLE I CAN SEE


You can be wrong when you're right
Even when you're right on cue

And if I die tonight
Then I die for you


All I know is they call me son
Great grandson and grandson
Great uncles and some relatives

That judge what I have done

Gonna make it right by you

Even if it's all I do
And if it's all I do
Then I do it for you


People have raised a whole lotta hell
About the water in the windmill

And although I stab chaotically
IT HURTS NO ONE BUT ME


EVEN THE DARKNESS HAS ARMS
But they ain't got you
And baby, I have it

And I have you, too

And the light in the window

To pass the night through
Maybe so uncertain
But what can I do


Keeping it on
Keeping it on

And I know I like it
But what does that prove
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you


I bring to you with reverent hand
All the books and the lullabies

The kind woman that my passion wore
Like the shoreline wears the tides


Maybe the water went dry
Keeping an eye on you
And with an eye on you

IT COULD DROWN ME, TOO

People have raised a whole lotta hell

About the water in the windmill
And although I stab chaotically
I swore an oath on my history

IT'S A MIRACLE I CAN SEE

EVEN THE DARKNESS HAS ARMS

But they ain't got you
And baby, I have it
And I have you, too


And the light in the window
To pass the night through

Maybe so uncertain
But what can I do

Keeping it on
Keeping it on

And I know I like it
But what does that prove
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you
