Demons - Cowboy Junkies Lyrics

Demons

I was taught that there are
Demons out there
So that's what i believe.
You take away my demons
You take away my peace.

Broke my leg
At the age of twelve
Couldn't kneel beside the bed.
Learnt the lesson of habit The prayers i left for dead.

Met him in
A corner booth
The jukebox at his side.
He took away all my quarters
He took me for a ride.

I saw his eyes
When the fires on
I never want that blaze to die.
If you take away the burning embers
You take away the burning sky.

If i could switch it
All around
I'd make you my very first kiss.
I'd take away the mystery
Just to see what i missed.

I was taught that there are
Demons out there
So that's what i believe.
