I'm Standing in the Light

Well, I set fire to an apple tree
And I put it back out like a bad memory
Yeah, I washed my hands in the flood

Well, I took a sip of the trouble I've stirred
And I spit it back out like a four letter word
Yeah, I lost my head in the fire

Well, I sat up high on the walls we built
And I felt just like a fool on stilts
But I just can't get down

Olives and a pair of eyes
Are floating in my glass
And nothing ever seemed so strange
But this I know will pass

I've seen as far as the eye can see
And I blew my mind in the lottery
Yeah, I lost my chance

Well, I've been told about the fiery skies
And I've told my fair share of lies
But I believe in mine

Well, I've known folks as smart as dogs
And I've known folks like bumps on logs
And they're all fine by me

Blue skies and my share of love
Are somewhere in the past
And nothing worth anything
Is strong enough to last

Well, I've done my time for the ills I've caused
And I've paid my dues in the bets I've lost
And I've got room enough to cry

Well, I've seen out as far as my eyes can see
And I've tried my hand at the mystery
Yeah, I walked in the land of the blind

Yeah I made my bed in which I lie
And I burned the bridge to the other side
And I'm standing in the light
Yeah, I'm standing in the light
