In the darkest hour of the longest night   If it was in my power I'd step into the light   Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe   Walk upon the water - transcendental blues      Happy ever after 'til the day you die   Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try   Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes   Wishin' you could stop it - transcendental blues      If I had it my way, everything would change   Out here on this highway the rules are still the same   Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to   They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues
