Well, there aint nobody safer than someone who doesnt care
And it isnt even lonely when no ones ever there
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true
The honeys sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you

So you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night
And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise all right
But here youre trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
To give you just a little sweetness
Just a little sweetness
Just a little light

I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward,
But it never comes so easy when youre living by the sword
Its even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way
Youre as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away

Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright,
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little sweetness
Just a little sweetness
Just a little light

This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights,
Theres a tingling recognition
Like the sound of distant thunder
And I begin to wonder
If the love Ive driven under
Wont ignite

So you know Ive been a soldier in the armies of the night
And Ill find the fatal error in whats otherwise all right
Something shines around you that seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little sweetness
Just a little sweetness
Just a little light
