Hiss Golden Messenger - Chapter & Verse (Ione's Song) lyrics

If there's an omen in the sky If there's a darkness you don't recognize Call on me in this world of woe It's a long time Quick to lose and hard to gain All I've got to give you are these songs I sing So tell me true: Ain't that enough? It's a long time But at the moment the sun is shining right on me And the road is shimmering in the haze Oh Ione, your daddy's just as dark as can be But I can be your little rainbow too I've been the last I've been the first I've read the book chapter and verse I've lived through times when almost wasn't good enough It's a long time
