In the darkest hour of the longest night

If it was in my power I'd step into the light

Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe

Walk upon the water transcendental blues



Happy ever after 'til the day you die

Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try

Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes

Wishin' you could stop it transcendental blues



If I had it my way, everything would change

Out here on this highway the rules are still the same

Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to

They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues
