lyrics

every time
every time you see me
every time you feel me
you know i'll be looking

every day
every day you feel
you've had a raw deal
you know i'll be looking

but i know
the seasons come and go
but don't forget

that i've been alone with
so many different kinds of light
and i will even still
keep close that i was once
a loaded gun
when i was young

down the deepest well
you feel you are
but you will get out
the oceans
mountains
and the rivers
you will cross
you will get out

but you know
when you need loving
time will slow
but keep going
if your dreams recede
i will dream your dream

yeah you know that i been
alone with so many
different kinds of light
and i can even stand
to give you all the things
i should have done
when i was young
when i was young
when i was young

when i was young
