All Hands

Late at night in my troubled mind

I go back to those summertimes

A boy in bed, all the windows wide

You can hear the hotrods runnin' from the light

From the light into the dark

That's all I wanted in my cousin's car

To listen to the wind and to the lead guitars

And feel the reckless runnin' of your heart

Now is that gone or does that all remain?

Can I go back and have it all again?

Well now I know it

Where I'm goin'

I'm goin' back behind the river

I'm goin' back behind the rain

'Cause no matter where you're headin'

You end up where you been

What's to come, I cannot say

But the mainland calls to take me away

Can take my life but when I die

I'm only goin' back to those valley black nights

Goin' from the light into the dark

I won't be scared, I will not come apart

I'll feel the wind, sing the riffs

Piled in the backseat with all my friends

All hands with me, yeah, and it's like a dream

Lovers and king, they all come back to me

And we're somehow seventeen

And we're drinkin' on the beach

And the bays are full of fish

And the blazin' fires lit

And our bodies start to lift

But we are unafraid of it

We are unafraid

Well now I know it

Where we're goin'

We're goin' back behind the river

We're goin' back behind the rain

'Cause no matter where you're headin'

I'll only end up where I been

I was tearin' at her sweater

I was cryin' on her chin

All while she was sayin'

"Baby, you'll be back again"
