Well there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care   And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there   I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true   The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you      So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night   And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise all right   But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might   To give you just a little sweetness, just a little light      I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward   But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword   This even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way   You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away      Even though I've 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 light      It could be just another highway, coiled up in the night   You could be just another white tail baby, you're stranded on my brights   There's a tingling recognition like the sound of distant thunder   And I begin to wonder if the love I've driven under won't ignite      So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night   And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise all right   But something shines around you, that it seems to my delight   To give me just a little sweetness, just a little light      To give me just a little sweetness, just a little light   To give me, to give me just a little sweetness and just a little light   To give me, just a little sweet, just a little sweetness and just a little light   Just a little sweetness, just a little, just a little sweetness, just a little light   To give me just a little sweetness, just a little light
