A Lover of the Light

Watch and listen: http://youtu.be/nMJUbZrNnA8

And in the middle of the night I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine

Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like but close my ears and eyes
Watch me stumble over and over

I had done wrong you built your tower
But call me home and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again

But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light


Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward


I know I've tried. I was not stable
And flawed by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up -- breathe in, and breathe out


So love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light


And in the middle of the night I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine


So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light


So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
