Yoke (live) Lyrics - Indigo Girls

I found the binding of the yoke 

That connects us here, in this herd of hope 

Escort me to your kingdom come 

From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done 

You stole so much, so much at times 

Just being bad, like the books we read 

The helplessness that you played upon 

Was just tenderness, to disarm 

She ushered in love, but it drove you mad 

Not to have everything of your envisioning 

She wandered in on the peace you lacked 

Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had 

Tell that story one more time for me 

Of the baited fields just for the taking dear 

Where you heard the hunter's call 

But your discipline kept you from the fall 

But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands 

I'd shoot anything 

And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right 

So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight 

And you hold your nightmares close from view 

The horses going wild, under a breaking moon 

There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride 

Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
