Album:

You And You Alone

Many more miles were behind him than he had left to go

Closing in upon that last one we all must walk alone

It's the one across the end of the line



So we held on and we told stories of the good and bad in all

Of the power and the glory and the lonely days that crawled

And he said Heaven holds true love and a satisfied mind



He said I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse

When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind

Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever

I never wanted no more than was mine

And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind



He said don't look into the darkness if you want to see true black

Look into a morning's brightness when love ain't coming back

And you will find right there a darkness that blinds



And don't think wealth is ever having all you want all to yourself

It is found when you are giving what you have to someone else

The only difference in the rich and the poor is a satisfied mind



And one light began to fade as one grew brighter

And he said I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse

When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind

Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever

I never wanted no more than was mine

And to lay down someday and go home

Let me lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind
