[Verse 1]
South of the lake
With a tall rider
In the mist of the cave
Where there's seldom any hiding
Billy, hold out your arms
Billy, hold out your arms

[Verse 2]
I was a storm
A sore loser
I passed the shore
Of a sailor-gone-bruiser
I believe in your light

That if you'd have with me
Safe pass on the long path
And I'd be first to see
What may not always be shown
God bless our long nights
