A stray dog running through an old train yard His body as black as smoke That fills my heart I am cold by the fire I'm cold now wherever we are I have become my father's son The land a bridge divides Is a hollow place or is not there Hold my hands steady on the wheel I'm through i am through Count the hours by passing lights The night is yours my heavy hands I count the hours by the passing lights I won't be home tonight To a scene in shades of white I combed your hair along the lines As far as i can see You are softer now No one to follow you around And will always be Holding my hands steady on the wheel I'm through i am through Counting hours by passing light The night is yours my heavy hands I counted hours by the passing light I won't be home tonight To a scene in shades of white
