Sometime you're gonna meet the devil and there ain't no way you're gonna win
Sometime you're gonna face the fall, after a reckoning
But some nights, in starlight, by the river's edge and under the cycles of the moon,
Just beyond those stoney walls, the sun is dawning soon
Sometimes you're gonna sit in the dark without friend or flame
Sometimes you gotta gather your kettles and pots for the cold ride ahead
But damn, you're a showman bound off on steeds, making for the wind
Tight-roped with the fire of being
Sometimes you gotta let it go and hang it out to dry
Sometimes you gotta cause a little fuss when they drag you down the line
For the reaper is plowing and tilling the soil for the coffin maker's kin
So come, have a drink and sit
Sometimes the seed's gotta drop from the tree and bury itself in the mud
Sometimes the roots get washed out by the flood
But to plant my love in phrase any greater than cliche has got to be about the hardest damn thing

Through the labors of winter burns my eagerness for you
Your breath, dark and deep
The leisure of your pleasure
Can't pin you to a metaphor, ever more you're changing
And with you, my infatuation
Like something I've always known yet I'm still discovering
So if eternity is change and coincidence is fate
Then for this chaos may I thank
That you and I should wind up in the same time and place
Through the labors of winter burns my eagerness for you
Your breath, dark and deep
The leisure of your pleasure

Sometimes your eyes gotta take their time
At night, when shadows go clear
Sometimes you gotta let the ghosts in if you wanna get some sleep around here
For when coins are on the table, careful with your cards, before you're oversold
You can only get so far on a bluff...or so I'm told...
