Precious Cargo

from Into The Light by Pat Byrne

/

lyrics

My load was oh so light.
The road was lomg and I travelled day and night.
My feet were strong and I’d walk through fire and ice
Searching for you

When I found you I was scared
The road disappeared and I felt so unprepared
My strengths were down and your words sounded just like a prayer
And they went right through me.

You took my hand,
Walked me out to see the sun.
I’ve been on this road forever,
But the journey’s just begun.
Empty vessels disappear out on the sea
But I’ve got precious cargo
And I’m keeping it with me.

When things don’t go so well
When spirits fracture and tempers start to swell
I know she loves me and I love her as well
Things will be Okay in the morning.

When treasure comes your way,
You grip it tight through blizzards and hurricanes
And in the dead of night when your demons keep you awake
She’ll pacify your burdens.

I didn’t have much in my pocket
What was left soon disappeared.
I spent it all in taverns, chasing whiskey down with beer.
Gambling and wagering and looking for a fix.
Now I’ve got precious cargo,
And I’m not taking risks.


We’re united, we’re connected, we’re a pair.
Happiness is only real when it’s shared
So take the lead and I’ll follow you anywhere
If you let me.

So let me take your hand,
We’ll cast our shadows in the sun
We’ve been on this road forever, but our journey’s just begun.
I give to you my everything,
But be careful what you do.
Cause I’ve got precious cargo.
And now honey so do you.
Honey so do you.
