Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care
  And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there
  I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true...
  The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you
    So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
  And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
  But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
  To give you just a little sweetness...
  Just a little sweetness...
  Just a little light.
      I have always heard that virtue oughta be its own reward,
  But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword
  It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way
  You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away
      Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
  Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright,
  Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight
  To give me just a little sweetness...
  Just a little sweetness...
  Just a little sweetness...
  Just a little light.
      [Bridge:]
  This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night
  You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights,
  There's a tingling recognition
  Like the sound of distant thunder
  And I begin to wonder
  If the love I've driven under
  Won't ignite.
      So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
  And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
  Something shines around you that seems, to my delight
  To give me just a little sweetness...
  Just a little sweetness...
  Just a little sweetness...
  Just a little light.
