You Will Ride With Me Tonight by Dar Williams Lyrics

Have you called before your time?
Rest your head against me
I'm a friend to travelers

Hold me tight, my wings are strong
Wrap your arms around me
It's a long way through
The tunnel to the light

Speeding through the fields of flowers
Silver skies with distant showers
My sister brought them

All the seeds in spring were sown
How the tendriled vines have grown
So full in Autumn

May I say, you seem too strong
Loose your silver hair 'cause
It's a long way through
The tunnel to the light
Fates are poised above the strings
They know the span of life and wings
You are not of them

See the life these travelers chose
Highway lamps on open roads
That shine above them

Do your fingers want to feel
Tunnels made of dampened steel?
And why pretend that you're so dull
May I say, you're beautiful
It makes want to turn this thing around

You'll ride with me tonight
You will ride with me tonight
You will ride with me tonight
