Light In The Evening - Jordan Klassen

Don’t condescend, you could never pretend

You can spit, you can spend, you could never pretend

There is a sign that you’ve run out of time

Now you’re chewing the rind and you’ve run out of time

And you know there is a place you can rest

There is night and a drum in your chest

And a help for your hand in the war

There is home and a bed that is yours

There is home and a bed that is yours

I’ve seen you weep, seen the black that you keep

Like a pet in the basement that howls at the moon

You fill my mind with a thousand bright diamonds

You look like a lion to my failing eyes

And you know there is a place you can rest

There is night and a drum in your chest

And a help for your hand in the war

There is home and a bed that is yours

There is home and a bed that is yours

Looking back, was it all that he said it would be?

Was it light in the evening?

Was it all that he said it would be?
