Fort Defiance

Lyrics

Store tightly away your heart in a cast made of iron
to keep safe from the darts and the wreckage that's transpired
Cover up your longing eyes and thread shut-tight your mouth
and let no one ever inside your mind who you can not get out
Oh, you will be wanted again

Keep aware of your foes, but fight harder off your memories
for you'll cause more harm to yourself than could be brought by your enemies
Be slow to give disclosure and keep doubt a true companion
but let no callous grow so thick it won't remove when you command it
Oh, you will be wanted again

Tie your dead faith to your back and drag it through the mire and thorns
in hope that soon you'll meet someone by whom the dead can be reborn
Give no offer of affection until you're promised the same
Try to let go of the past but don't forget from where you came
Oh, you will be wanted again

You will be wanted again
You will be wanted again
You will be wanted again
