Bacon Brothers - Light The Way lyrics

Written by kevin bacon

"it's about having the strength to re-define your life's work. a follow-up to 'guess again.'" kb

Emma rae's riding on a north-bound train

Spilling all that pain

On the plains of dover

Emma rae's crying from a hot cell phone

She said she never felt so alone

This time the dream is over

Surely this is her darkest hour

I've even heard her talk about a higher power

Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice

And it says "hold on momma

'cause you've got one last choice"

Bring your dreams down to the river

And let the water wash all your dreams away

When the night comesit will deliver

Through the darknessyour heart is gonna light the way

Old man standing on a soap box

He's wearing wool socks

On the hottest day all year

Old man preachin' to the handful

With a head full

He says "the end is surely near"

Nowwho among you even cares?

They're turnin' circles into squares

But deep in his heart comes a tired voice

And it says "hold on daddy

You've got one last choice"

Bring your dreams down to the river

And let the water wash all your dreams away

When the night comesit will deliver

Through the darknessyour heart is gonna light the way

Light the waylight the way

Through the darknessyour heart is gonna light the way

Light the wayoh light the way

Through the darknessyour heart is gonna light the way
