I have been away
I mean just the other day
I left a Granny Smith apple
In the car to bake
In the hot sun
In a cry for help
A man should not do that
A good man has his mind
A way to stay on track
Fit for the light of day
Fit for others to love
Fit for himself to love
Of all the things I might do
Of all the sins to commit
Of all the ways to act
Madness I am certain
Madness enough to enrage
Madness with a tinge of sadness
Nearly forgot my vision of you
Nearly got lost in the jungle
Nearly went out to pasture
Threw it all in your face
Threw in the towel
Threw up on me
It was you who said
It was long hair you loved
It made it hard to cut
All in the way I sang you said
All in the way I talked
All in the way I was good
Away from all that
Away out here in the big chill
Away from our friends
For the way you are
For the sake of us
For the love of God
What you are doing is rescue
What you are saving is my life
What you are is a beacon
What you are is a beacon
