lyrics

Light in the Sky

Sittin’ in this open window watchin the city empty out
It all slides off to the west, leaving a deep blue promise hangin about
Darkness carries it away in it’s arms through the black,
And sets it down with it’s things out back
It’s over, its it done it’s gone, the night is comin’ on

I’m lookin for a light in the sky, some good reason why
I can’t see a thing tonight, lookin for a light in the sky

Up on the end of the beach there’s a place I always go alone
Listen to the waves singin some old song
They rolled in from out beyond
Lingering in the great unknown
Words in the wind weaving stories any one could own
We found our way out there through the dark
Gotta believe we’re gonna find some way home

I’m lookin for a light in the sky, some good reason why
I can’t see a thing tonight, I’m lookin’ for a light in the sky

Jesus Christ, Jean and Joan of Arc
The lovers and redeemers, the dreamers and the lost
Are pickin’ up your signals...out here in the dark

Saw you moving through the market this morning,
Your eye was not upon the fare
Picked your face right out of the crowd,
Told me why you were there
A glance as you passed pierced right through
Froze your name in my throat, ‘fore I could call it out loud
So but let it be as a memory, maybe time will be as kind to you

I’m lookin‘for a light in the sky, some good reason why
I can’t see a thing tonight, lookin’ for a light in the sky
