Chapter & Verse (Ione’s Song)

If there's an omen in the sky If there's a darkness, you don't recognize Yeah, call on me in this world of woe Yeah, it's a long, yeah, a long time Yeah, quick to lose, but hard to gain All I've got to give you are these songs I sing So tell me true, ain't that enough? It's a long, yeah, a long time But at the moment, yeah, the sun is shining right on me And the road is shimmering in the haze Oh, Ione, yeah, your daddy's just as dark as can be But I can be your little rainbow too I've been the last I've been the first Oh, I've read the book chapter and verse I've lived through times when almost wasn't good enough And It's a long, yeah, a long time And I've been bound And I've been free Well, I've split the road beneath my two feet Oh, I've heard laughter like coins in a cup It's a long, yeah, long time Yeah, it's a long, yeah, long time
