lyrics

Your lovelight

Your lovelight reveals the way
Lets me see all the shapes and the shadows in the day
Your lovelight dispels the gloom
If you could only come over right now, brighten up my room.

1)
That night the Great Bear roared, Orion raised his sword
I walked home along the empty streets alone
By the blue TV screen’s gleam I made a note of what I’d seen
That the Heavens leave their reasons unknown

Chorus

2)
From the day the darkness came some thought it a game
It would be over in the blink of an eye
Now every day’s unclear, we all live with the fear
Just doing the best we can to survive

Chorus

Every day is a long, straight road, to a depressing conference
Everyone bears a heavy load, nothing seems to make much sense

Chorus
