Song for Susan

[Verse 1]
The light from the neon night silently lights up the sky
Sails through the window to dance with the tears in her eyes
She tenderly turns and she runs her soft hands through my hair
I've never doubted one minute just how much she cares

[Verse 2]
The tight circle draws close, but somehow I know it's alright
There's never a feeling of chains, but of refuge from night
I find myself seeking her hand as I drift off to sleep
If I'd never known her, God only knows where I'd be

[Verse 3]
There was a time when the sun goin' down frightened me
Alone on a back road on my way back to Tennessee
Just out of Monroe one night, God, I thought I was gone
I cried I've run out of time, if I only had known

[Outro]
