lyrics

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?
