The John Butler Trio
"Ragged Mile (Spirit Song)"
I will run,
Yes I will roll,
I will climb your mountains high,
Through the valleys of deceit,
Through the cold winds of denial,
And though you fear the cold dark,
I'll be right here by your side,
'Cos until you know who you are,
You'll never know I'm near not far,
I've caught your falls I've helped you rise,
I've damned these torrents from your eyes, I know.
From the bosom to bare bones,
Between the oceans and the sky,
Since before time began,
I have walked your ragged mile,
And I will call like the crow,
I'll be right there by your side,
I am the candle in your darkest night,
Whether you're wrong, whether you're right,
I'll be there in your finest hour,
I'll be there when it all turns sour,
I know who you are, I know who you are
And though at times you'll be at your knees,
It's better than just running blind,
I'll push you straight into the deep,
I'll challenge you boy every time,
And I won't fall and I won't waiver,
I'll be right there by your side,
'Cos until you be just who you are,
I'll neve stop, I'll always call,
I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise,
I've damned these torrents from your eyes,
I know you are, I know you are
know you are... home
