if i’m giving up right at the start
it’s cuz i now myself i know this heart
and yet hardly at all
seems i know hardly at all
well the land lies low where waters rise
and she kneels before the test of time
Louisiana parish lines
i cross them just to clear my mind
but when the light burns low
and the night draws near
is it not love that drives out fear?
when the bottom falls
out from underneath
is it not the truth that sets us free?
then i saw the way the heron flew
over Cypress Island early June
in the world of things that i might do
if i didn’t fear i had so much to lose
but when the light burns low
and the night draws near
is it not love that drives out fear?
when the bottom falls
out from underneath
is it not the truth that sets us free?
i’ve been losing what i know
where the rubber meets the road
i headed South four years ago
wasn’t sure which way to go
now i can’t explain the things i’m holding
a song to sing before too long
and i can’t contain this vast unfolding
that’s gathered in the break of dawn.
when the light burns low
and the night draws near
is it not love that drives out fear?
when the bottom falls
out from underneath
is it not the truth that sets us free?
i’ve been losing what i know
where the rubber meets the road
i headed South 'cross the Ohio
wasn’t sure which way to go
but when the light burns low
and the night draws near
is it not love that drives out fear?
when the bottom falls
out from underneath
is it not the truth that sets us free?

parti sur un voyage
suivant l’étoile du nord
j’aurai mon équipage
pour quand j’arrive au port
s’il faut riser les voiles
mon dieu, quel triste sort !
vous prierez dieu, ma belle
pour que j’arrive au port
quand tu seras dans les îles
les îles très éloignées
il y aura des italiennes
qui sauront te charmer
et moi la malheureuse
je serai bien délaissée !
car l’amour est trompeuse
quand on est éloigné
mon amie, ma douce amie
souviens-toi ce que je t’ai promis
avant de partir
je vais te le redire:
sois-moi fidèle et sage
conserve-moi ton coeur
au retour du voyage
je ferai ton bonheur

in the winter’s thaw it’s like a final straw
steps right in like a fatal flaw
and it melts the waters we can no longer hold
not as we were not in that mold
fear traded freedom for a stalemate
and we held each other in an icy phase
now it melts away it melts away
not of my choosing but the spring will have its way
and there’s nothing here to hold me down
could it be that there’s a higher ground?
there’s nothing here to hold me down
we have made no promises no vows
where this unwinds is where the morning’s light
cuts right through my fondest night
and it floods the valleys we can no longer go
to the places we call home
fear traded freedom for a stalemate
and we held each other in an icy phase
now it melts away it melts away
not of my choosing but the spring will have its way
and there’s nothing here to hold me down
could it be that there’s a higher ground?
there’s nothing here to hold me down
we have made no promises no vows
