This is the season of confession And I'll listen to all of this There's no tokenism I'm all ears to truth because my duty's all too clear When you can't see the light for the door She's left you for the dawn And dawn don't forget A young man with an old heart And mind all of fear It's not that there's no connection She's not your mother just a candle burning bright Burning right on through You're taken on a trust and now she'll undo And this ain't the last time that it happens to you Who knows what time is or to be blind is? That's for you to choose It's dark in this neck of the woods but it's the woods that you choose And every word is a gesture on her part to you
But it's slicing your soul and soon you'll grow old The ice on the road will be your destination right though Am I getting through to you friend? You can share all the night or the wine that you like But there's no use now hoping or weeping or moping because You've given her your trust and now she'll undo And this ain't the last time that it happens to you Who knows what time is or to be blind is? That's for you to choose Well it's dark in this neck of the woods but the woods that you choose
