the streetlights hurt my eyes
The shoes wore out on my feet,
the air was stiff with lies
the prophets know the pain
A message come from Utah,
sayin' my long lost son was dead
So I turn to you, my old friend,
you'll stick by me to the end
With your dark and valiant magic,
all the heartaches that you've been
My husband left me years ago,
the children they're all grown
won't ever leave me alone
Oh, how many things I'd change
if I could live my life again
Somehow it ain't worth a living
when there's nothing left to win
So I turn to you, my old friend,
you'll stick by me to the end
With your dark and valiant magic,
all the heartaches that you mend
When I had to fight, fought,
and when I had to die, I died
And when I had to live without my legs,
please tell me who's to blame
We always seem so dif ferent,
even though we're all the same
So I turn to you, my old friend,
you'll stick by me to the end
Maybe a dark and valiant magic,
all the heartaches that you meant
