lyrics:
we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
seems so long since we would play back that way
but i remember the place

we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
when wings diaphanous carry us
to the shores of our fates

lead our horses to water
flow that water now in to the sea

'cause we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
laying lady take your feet so we may meet
with all due haste

don't want to live in someone else's nostalgia
i just want to live for today

we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
in the dark night of the soul, all alone
heaven is a lonely place

we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
when shackles fall from us all
and i uncover your face

nothing worse than when you're falling down
our better angels better hurry up

'cause we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
seems so long since we would play back that way
but i remember the place

lead our horses to water
flow that water now in to the sea

when it's late and the fire's out
and you can't find your way
we've got everything riding on
a return to grace
