Ragged Mile (Spirit Song) Lyrics

I will run,
Yes I will roll,
I will climb your mountains high,
Through the valleys of deceit,
Through the cold winds of denial,
And though you fear the cold dark,
I'll be right here by your side,
'Cos until you know who you are,
You'll never know I'm near not far,
I've caught your falls I've helped you rise,
I've damned these torrents from your eyes, I know.
From the bosom to bare bones,
Between the oceans and the sky,
Since before time began,
I have walked your ragged mile,
And I will call like the crow,
I'll be right there by your side,
I am the candle in your darkest night,
Whether you're wrong, whether you're right,
I'll be there in your finest hour,
I'll be there when it all turns sour,
I know who you are, I know who you are
And though at times you'll be at your knees,
It's better than just running blind,
I'll push you straight into the deep,
I'll challenge you boy every time,
And I won't fall and I won't waiver,
I'll be right there by your side,
'Cos until you be just who you are,
I'll neve stop, I'll always call,
I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise,
I've damned these torrents from your eyes,
I know you are, I know you are
know you are... home

Cover art for Ragged Mile (Spirit Song) lyrics by John Butler Trio

Few thing you should correct:

"'Cos until you know who you are,"

  • this should be; "'Cos until you know just who you are,"

A new verse should begin on the line; "From the bosom to bare bones,"

"I know who you are, I know who you are" It should be; "I know you are, I know who you are"

^ That is also the chorus and should put (x3) as it's repeated, but the final line of the chorus is just; "I know you are"

Line after this; "And though at times you'll be at your knees," Is the start of another verse...

Again at the bottom it is; "I know you are, I know who you are" (x3)

Brilliant that you got the lyrics up though, it's a fantastic song!

This is one of my favourite songs of all time....He explained it to us at one of his concerts. It's exactly what I thought it was about, it's pretty obvious. It's basically what your spirit guide/guardian angel would say to you if we could hear them. I love John Butler :)
