Only The Bravest

You are not permanent

But you are here

You are not everlasting

And you haven’t begun to stoke the fires

There is a flicker of light

Where only the bravest burn so bright

People will sit there

Jealous and cold

Safe in the shaded meadow

And they will shoot you down with bow and arrow

They see you clearly in their sights

Where only the bravest burn so bright

Standing on the corner

In a hurricane

Reaching out for something

And catching only rain

There on the corner

Is where you’ll here me say

That only the bravest burn so bright

Your head is full of

Doubts and fears

I know that she’s winning

And you don’t have to be reduced to begging

Even devoted [?]

And only the bravest burn so bright

Standing on the corner

In a hurricane

Reaching out for something

And catching only rain

There on the corner

Is where you’ll here me say

That only the bravest burn so bright

Where do you wanna go?

East or west?

Which direction is pulling?

And I will be right behind you if you lose your footing

Don’t need a torch to ward off the night

Where only the bravest burn so bright

Yeah, only the bravest burn so bright

Look me in the eye and tell me you love me

I am your eye, says he

I hope that you see each other in each other

I hope that you’ll be the eye of each other

I hope that today will be in eternity, okay?

Don’t forget your father-in-law
