Steal the light

Sing now muse, I won’t be scared.

She’s wearing flowers, not snakes up in her hair tonight.

And love we’ve been around before...

We washed up on the old shore but it’s new tonight.

‘It’s only light’, she said.

‘But we are liars to be free’.

Ooh ooh ooh, we’ll steal the light to see.

The hour falls, we fall to dance.

The sirens and the marching bands sing:

‘It’s nothing but chance tonight’

The billion ones, and many few

and everyone I never knew, they’re here tonight.

‘It’s only light’, we said.

But we are liars to be free.

Ooh ooh ooh, we’ll steal the light to see.

What if I’m lonely?

What if the skies should fall and disappear?

For one night only,

open your eyes and run into the clear.

So if I may, what if I say

‘It’s good to have you here!’

She said: ‘If you lead, I’ll come along

And if you need me there, I’ll sing your song tonight.

And all that glows, and all that shines

and all we leave behind will keep them warm tonight’.

‘It’s only light’, I said.

But we are liars to be free.

Ooh ooh ooh, we’ll steal the light to see.

What if I’m lonely?

What if the skies should fall and disappear?

For one night only.

Open your eyes and run into the clear.

I love you only

until the skies fall down and disappear.

So if I may, what if I say:

‘It’s good to have you here!’

Oh oh oh…
