Lyrics John Butler Trio – Ragged Mile (Spirit Song)

I will run,
yes I will roll,
I will climb your mountains high,
Through the valleys of deceit,

And though you fear the cold dark,
I’ll be right here by your side,
‘Cos 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 you are.

And though at times you’ll be at your knees,
It’s better than just running blind,
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,

‘Cos 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.
I know you are …. home.
