ragged mile spirit song

John Butler Trio

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
