Ragged Mile

john butler trio

I will run, yes, I will roll

I will climb your mountains high

Through the valleys of deceit

Through the cold winds of denial

And though you fear the cold dark

I'll be right here by your side

'Cause until you know just who you are

You'll never know I'm near not far

I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise

I've damned these torrents from your eyes, I know

From the bosom to bare bones

Between the oceans and the sky

Since before time began

I have walked your ragged mile

And I will call like the crow

I'll be right there by your side

I am the candle in your darkest night

Whether you're wrong, whether you're right

I'll be there in your finest hour

I'll be there when it all turns sour

I know you are, I know who you are

I know you are, I know who you are

I know you are, I know who you are

I know who you are

And though at times you'll be at your knees

I'll push you straight into the deep

I'll challenge you, boy, every time

And I won't fall and I won't waiver

I'll be right there by your side

'Cause until you be just who you are

I'll never stop, I'll always call

I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise

I've damned these torrents from your eyes

I know you are, I know who you are

I know you are, I know who you are

I know you are, I know who you are

Know you are home
