Baby, let your light shine on me
when I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
you could ease my load
Days get so dark that I can't hardly see
I've been gone so long
seems like home to me
Baby, when I was young of age
I took you for my world
The oceans were your eyes
the pastures were your curves
now I'm all alone stranded in the west
Where you sleep tonight I can only guess
Baby, let your light shine on me
when I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
you could ease my load
There's something on the hills
you know, I gotta see
I've been gone so long
it seems like home to me
Well, baby, I gave you all I got
told you all I know
But you want someone I'm not
so it's time for me to go
When a sparrow needs its rest, it takes the nearest tree
if I pass back this way,
there's still light on me
Baby, let your light shine on me
when I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
you could ease my load
There's something that I lack, it just won't let me be
I've been gone so long
it seems like home to me
Baby, let your light shine on me
when I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
you could ease my load
Yes I'll just keep on
until I reach the sea
I've been gone so long
it seems like home to me
it seems like home to me
it seems like home to me
