Huckleberry Light

In the, in the dreams I had last night In the, in the, in the stories of the night Went up to the city Wound up in a fight Laid up with a broken wing In the huckleberry light All the, all the fields around here All the, all the danger in the air Went up to the dark tree Bowed down in the storm And stumbled to a laden branch Where I found you that night You said I would be everything you ever needed But I would just fumble and go on and lose it again Lose it again You are the candle I clutched in the rain I am the wind that you blew out again And again, lose it again And I am the huckleberry in the night We cling to the branch and hold for the morning light All the, all the poison in the leaves All those, all those footsteps as they freeze It's tough for the risen You held till the last One arm with a poison branch And the other in a cast You said I would be everything you ever needed But I would just fumble and go on and lose it again Lose it again You are the dandylion clutched in the rain I am the wind that you blew out again And again, lose it again And I am the huckleberry in the night We cling to the branch and hold for the morning light And it hits, and you feel it And you know it's true And I gave it back to you In the, in the dreams I had last night In the, in the, in the stories of the night Went up to the city Wound up in a fight Laid up with a broken wing In the huckleberry light The huckleberry light The huckleberry light
