Give Me A Song Songtext

Put me behind a plow. Give me a problem to work out. Give me reason to go forward, or a horizon to go toward. Give me a race that I can win, at least a direction to run in. Show me just one thing black or white, even an ending that?s in sight. Give me a song that I can sing, one that?s got an honest ring, One that burns hot in my veins, a song that will ease some pain. I want to know truth. I want to walk in it first. Let me know purpose when I wake, or give me a heart that will not break. Give me a strong drink when I thirst, my lover?s arms when I?m at my worst. This one thing is all I ask. This one thing is all I ask: Time. Driving through the driving rain, like a knife in the dark I hear my name from a passing train. ?Come away, come away.? Give me a song that I can sing, one that?s got an honest ring, One that burns hot in my veins, a song that will ease some pain.
