Never Quite Free by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

It's so good to learn that right outside your window
There's only friendly fields and open roads
And you'll sleep better when you think
You've stepped back from the brink
And found some peace inside yourself
Laid down your heavy load

It gets all right to dream at night
Believe in solid skies and slate-blue earth below
But when you see him, you'll know

It's okay to find the faith to saunter forward
With no fear of shadows spreading where you stand
And you'll breathe easier just knowing
That the worst is all behind you
And the waves that tossed the raft all night
Have set you on dry land

It gets okay to praise the day
Believe in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath
But hear his breath come through his teeth
Walk by faith
Tell no one what you've seen

It's so good to learn that from right here
The view goes on forever
And you'll never want for comfort
And you'll never be alone
See the sunset turning red
Let all be quiet in your head
And look about—all the stars are coming out

They shine like steel swords
Wish me well where I go
But when you see me, you'll know
