lyrics

Backway to Victory

it’s a cold and wintry day my love have we lost our way
sun’s up but it’s coming down there’s darkness on my mind
where the road and the tangled rivers rise no shelter baby now
maybe it’s a fatal flaw thinking we can see at all
beyond this valley, beyond the sky

why, why do we cry, why do we care, oh baby why
the sugar moon’s up, I reckon, we could sure use the light
on the back way to Victory tonight

it’s a wild land and we’ve run aground on the shores of paradise
night glows with heaven’s fire and a thousand questions
thrown down by a sliver of moon and the wind swept four directions
but don’t lay down baby let’s go we’ve got to trust what we already know
And find a path through our creation

the geese go swiftly wing to cloud how simple then to fly
and never have a need to feel a lover’s warmth or comfort
or walk alone in the fields reaching out from a broken life
but we’ll divine us a northern branch by god while there’s still a chance
we’ll make our run toward salvation
