Jeff Wasserman - Light as a Feather

It was midnight on the interstate,
All my bridges were burned
Red-eyed tired crossin' Michigan,
Wonderin' what this life was worth

When my headlights lit up some hobo,
with his back to this stormy night
Though he never raised his hitchin' thumb,
I gave an old man a ride

he just sat there strokin' a feather,
tellin' old war story lies
but he meant every word of it,
by the look in his eyes he said

Holy, holy, holy be the night
When you can see in the dark
and you ain't scared of dyin'
Then you can stand up when it's rainin' fire.

The longest mile I ever traveled
Well I did not move at all
I was light as a feather
and true to my call

Yeah, out there into the open,
down that rocky road of coincidence
still it all falls into place,
though boy nothin' makes much sense

But I have learned to use this heart,
Well, as the means by which to see
Then he handed me that Indian feather,
he opened the door to take his leave .... sayin'

Down the longest mile you travel,
on the one you wanna crawl
just be light as a feather,
and true to a call
Cause it ain't that far to travel
if you ain't scared to fall
Light as a feather
And it's worth it alll

And as the sun it rose up
on that Montana day
Well he walked off into the wilderness
just as if he knew his way
I still hear the words he said

Down the longest mile you travel,
on the one you wanna crawl
Just stay light as a feather
and true to your call

cause it ain't that far to travel
if you ain't scared to fall
light as a feather
and it's worth it all

Down the longest road you travel
you need not move at all
Just float light as a feather
A-bove it all

Down the longest road you travel
On the one you gotta crawl
Just float light as a feather
And it's worth it all
