Well, there aint nobody safer than someone who doesnt care
And it isnt even lonely when no ones ever there
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true
The honeys sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you
And you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night
And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise alright
But here youre trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
To give you just a little sweetness
Just a little light
I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward
But it never comes so easy when youre living by the sword
Its even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way
Youre as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away
Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright
Something shines around you and it seems to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights
Theres a tingling recognition
Like the sound of distant thunder
And I begin to wonder
If the love Ive driven under wont ignite
So you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night
And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise alright
Something shines around you and it seems to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
To give me, to give me, to give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
