Colonnade (Live at Ocean Way Studio B)

You were waiting for them indoors
And let them tell you
They were right
They're the ones waiting in fields of black and wet
And you're sleeping tonight

They all looked to you for the answers
They thought you'd be the one guessing right
One look at you and everyone's through saying we're all
Stuck in the night
Once they found you were what they need
You wished you had nothing to say
They all looked you and asked you to see us through
And you thought about riding days
Main event they were looking for
But you liked your Saturday Matinees
Rose in step hand outs and called them out
To brighter days
Kids ran up to you loved that you'd smile with 'em too
You'd never turn them away

Lifted up in the colonnade
They thought it'd be knot and shade
Work is done and for now
He's lifted up and out
He's smiling away
By the fires the passerbys said brother
Who who is he
Looking up and he's someone that I think
I'd like to be
Peace at last and the night left fast
They all followed out on bended knee
Home at last and what could you take from us
But set us free

Light touch and a mild eye
We liked your half smile and braids
One look at you with foot up and hand out
And we thought about your riding days
Shining down and no one's left wondering now
A half smile away
