Keep your eyes down
Keep your head lowered
Keep to yourself dear
Do not tell a soul

You know it's wrong
What they've been saying
You knew it all along
That I would have to go

Find a place where light
shines on my reflection
A place where I can
stand up on my own

Now down on my knees
Until then please...

Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
Down Eisenhower road
Meet me where the storms
blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go

I know everyone
has their unspoken fear
It eats away their senses
And their humanity

They carry all their secrets
Every night down to the river
And they try so hard to drown them
They won't do that to me

Cause I'm working hard
saving all my money
And the tips in this jar
will buy a brand new set of wings
For my Mercury
Until then please

Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
Down Eisenhower road
Meet me where the storms
blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go

I could never hide this little light of mine
If God made a mistake
then I should die before I wake
Maybe it's my fate
to swim against this tide
Swallowing my pride

Keep your eyes down
Say that you don't know me
For I could not survive
If they took you away
