Shepherd

Salt and a broken wing
Migratory songs
Lord, I wish I could get out of my head
And back into the room

We took that waltz in the rain
For some stormy, leaky love
Oh, my penance, take me back
I'm the wreckage of a man
Who never got away

We just spent all we had
Now we're overdrawn
But you were the knot in the ribbon
That tied me to the heavens
You were my favorite shepherd of days

You were the gold in the river
That the hardest day delivered
You were my favorite shepherd of days

You were the wheels set in motion
To throw my shutters open
You are the blue light before the day
