lyrics

Well they speak of the weight of standing alone
With the creatures, with the teeth that’ll eat you down to the bone.
But you could come back brother, you could come back home.
We could hold you in the low light low.
But true when thinking on light you must think too on shade,
Where a man would be wise to be twice as afraid.
Even thinking on memories we have made,
As we hold them in the low light low.
Hold them in the low light low.

You were a man who helped me rest in myself.
That’s not something I would always say for everyone else.
But you’d think on my sorrows as you’d drink to my health,
When you held me in the low light low.
And those arms – man your arms – I remember them well,
‘Cause I remember the times I’d be going through hell,
But you! Oh you’d smile just to see I was well.
And I’ll hold that tonight in the low light low.
Hold it in the low light low.

And it pains me to think on a year and a day;
To Christmas morning when we would have stayed up all night,
Like those who hold vigil to pray
For when they told us in the low light low.



But we hope to be ones who take care of our own.
So we hope that there’s some way that you could have known
In those final moments you were never alone.

‘Cause we held you in our thoughts in the low light low.
We held you in our minds in the low light low.
We held you in our hearts in the low light low.
We held you in the low light low.
