lyrics

THE LIGHT

Faced with the sea
Like an old enemy
There’s a light bulb that’s breaking
There’s nothing worth saving
Our hands become oars
In a lifeboat that once was our bed

Tread carefully
Hear the creak underneath
There’s a cyclone parading
And serenading restless lullabies
I am tuneless and void of the light
‘Cause I gave up believing
As I often do

It’s just you and me
And our child to feed
All our spirit’s forsaking
Now Elliott’s waking
Embraced in a storm
With our hands clasped
And braced for the fight

Endless repeats
Where’s our moments relief?
Our spirits a painting
Of gold emanating
From faraway shores
I think I can make out the light
Now I won’t stop believing
While your eyes cry for meaning
The clouds are conceding
I love you
