Light the milk and honey candles
While I sew on your wing
There’s no need to gamble on a good thing
In the dream I asked you it seemed kinda rude
But in the light of day I'm going to

How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by

Sitting around waiting for it to get dark again
Let the games begin
At the roadside inn sewing on your wing
From the foot of the bed
You asked me

How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by
How do you get by

What’s the richness in your life
From where can you derive

Oh in the dead of night
All alone tending to the fire
Oh how do you get by
Oh how do you get by
