Harry Chapin - You Own the Only Light lyrics

You Own The Only Light Words and Music by Harry Chapin I listen to the wind girl As you sleep by my side The weather's getting colder So much harder now to hide I confess I'm worried girl 'Cause as we fill up our days For all the dreams we said we'd live We watch them slip away So I hold you like an anchor I hold you in the night You're all that I can count on You own the only light And I hold you like an answer The only one that's right For when I'm lost in darkness You own the only light You see I think we know we're loosing it That easy dream is gone Like everyone we fool ourselves And say we're holding on But I know I can't return again You never can go home Though with you here I still am lost At least I'm not alone And I hold you like an anchor I hold you in the night You're all that I can count on You own the only light And I hold you like an answer The only one that's right For when I'm lost in darkness You own the only light Oh don't you ever take away your light Don't you ever leave me with your light Don't you ever take away your light Or else never let there be another night We traveled hard to get here girl But now our traveling's done And of all the answers I have found You're the only solid one And I'm frightened how I need you now But I can't wall in my heart And with you is how I hope to end And with you now I start And I hold you like an anchor I hold you in the night You're all that I can count on You own the only light Yes I hold you like an answer The only one that's right For when I'm lost in darkness You own the only light
