the barr brothers - even the darkness has arms (live at harpa) lyrics
[intro]
we’re the barr brothers
and we’re sitting here in front of
reykjavik, harpa, in the harpa building, uhm
we’re ‘gonna do a song called “even the darkness has arms”
[verse 1]
i was holding my breath
when the tightrope walker
slipped into the moon glow
saying, “all my children, follow me
maybe it’s time to go”
you can be chrome when you’re wise
you can be wise when you’re blue
and baby, if i have
then i have for you
[verse 2]
bribing the jury to keep me in jail
singing, “tеa for the tillerman”
and although i lie fantastically
i sworе an oath on my history
it’s a miracle i can see
you can be wrong when you’re right
even when you’re right on cue
and if i die tonight
then i die for you
[verse 3]
calling on those that call me son
great grandson and grandson
great uncles, aunts, and relatives
to judge what i have done
gonna make it right by you
even if it’s all i do
and if it’s all i do
then i do it for you
[pre_chorus]
people will raise ‘a_whole_lotta h_ll
about the water and the windmill
and although i stab quixotically
it hurts no one but me
[chorus]
even the darkness has arms
but it ain’t got you
and baby, i have it
and i have you too
and the light in the window
to pass the night through
maybe so uncertain
but what can i do?
keepin’ it on
keepin’ it on
and i know i like it
but what does that prove?
sometimes i worry i don’t know how to love you
[instrumental]
[verse 4]
i was breaking the law with a nine_pound hammer
when the straw hit the whip_poor_will
and down and low, and lord, and hide i
hungry enough to k!ll
wherever the white dog goes
he goes unseen
and he sees below
and he knows your dream
[verse 5]
i bring to you with reverent hands
all the books that my love abides
kind woman that my passion wore
like the shoreline wears the tides
maybe the water went dry
keeping an eye on you
and with an eye on you
it could drown me, too
[pre_chorus]
people will raise ‘a_whole_lotta h_ll
about the water and the windmill
and although i stab quixotically
i swore an oath on my history
it’s a miracle i can see
[chorus]
even the darkness has arms
but they ain’t got you
baby, i have it
and i have you, too
and the light in the window
to pass the night through
maybe so uncertain
but what can i do?
keepin’ it on
keepin’ it on
and i know i like it
but what does that prove?
sometimes i worry i don’t know how to love you
[outro, applauding]
(thank you)
