Indigo Girls - Yoke Lyrics
I found the binding of the yokeThat connects us here, in this herd of hopeEscort me to your kingdom comeFrom the gallows' hold, and the things we've doneYou stole so much, so much at timesJust being bad, like the books we readThe helplessness that you played uponWas just tenderness, to disarmShe ushered in love, but it drove you madNot to have everything of your envisioningShe wandered in on the peace you lackedYeah and you're losing still, that life you could've hadTell that story one more time for meOf the baited fields just for the taking dearWhere you heard the hunter's callBut your discipline kept you from the fallBut oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby handsI'd shoot anythingAnd you laughed at me, but you know I'm rightSo why do you claim the strength to put up a fightAnd you hold your nightmares close from viewThe horses going wild, under a breaking moonThere's no way the bridle ever fits the brideYeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
