The Light

David Gray · Shine: Best Of The Early Years [2007]

you turn out the light

and the dark sucks on

the embers of the fire

my heart smoulders in the night

and these tumbling boulders of desire



come rollin' out of the shadows at me

come rollin' out of the shadows at me

come rollin' out of the shadows at me



now you say i thought time was

meant to take away the hurting

as your lonely silhouette

closes the curtain

we're back on the road destination uncertain

so let's get in this car and drive

and this feeling I feels so strong

so powerful it can't be wrong

now the whole frosted night is just a song



a song for you

a song for you

a song for you



now the moon has splashed right over the street

like my tears on your thighs so pale

there's just you and me in the streets

and the whole wide world feel like a jail



when you're away from me

you're away from me

you're away from me



you turn out the light

and the dark sucks on the embers of the fire

my heart smoulders in the night

and these tumbling boulders of desire



come rollin'

come rollin'

come rollin'

come rollin'

come rollin' out the shadows at me

come rollin' out the shadows at me



you turn out the light
