 This light of mine  will offer up for handing,
 This light of mine  will take you to the brink,
 To feel it all  come sweetly flooding over,
 To feel free,  free enough  to breath again
 (Instrumental Verse, banjo enters)
 There's a strange,  strange feeling in this city,
 There's a dark,  dark figure on the hill,
 And this speechless,  wandering committee,
 Will take all  your hope  into their will
 Calling down,  down, down  among the lonesome,
 Crying out,  till my voice  will make no sound,
 Colder hands  won't offer  any help  son,
 Turn it out,  turn the boat around
 (Instrumental Verse)
 There's a glow  down there among the breakers,
 Could a calmer  wind be calm and true?
 To feel it all  come sweetly flooding over,
 Let the water wash  away the new
 Calling down,  down, down  among the lonesome,
 Crying out,  till my voice  will make no sound,
 Colder hands  won't offer  any help  son,
 Turn it out,  turn the boat around
 Calling down,  down, down  among the lonesome,
 Crying out,  till my voice  will make no sound,
 (Accompaniment out, slow guitar strums only)
 Colder hands  won't offer  any help  son,
 (Accompaniment back in)
 Turn it out,  turn the boat around
 Turn it out,  turn the boat around
 (Slower)
 Turn it out,  turn the boat around
