Bright (Fast)

Sunday morning
And the light is fine
In the beating of a bird's wing
I come alive

I was dreamin'
Of a love song
But what good are dreams
When the wind starts blowing?
Nothing forgotten
Nothing forgiven when the night comes to an end

Like the bird on the windowsill
I tremble
Through the passing shadow
Close my eyes and count to ten
Until

I'm in the bright light
Forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives
Familiar but strange
Without enough darkness left to
Hide all the pain
I'm in the bright light again (I'm in the bright light)

Have you seen it
When they start taking flight?
How they spread out in silence
And own the sky

I was dreaming
We could be them
The wind in your arms
And the earth dissolving
Something forgotten
Something forgiven
What it was, I couldn't say

I'm afraid I could live this way forever
As I glance beside me
And the shadow burns away

I'm in the bright light
Forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives
Familiar but strange
Without enough darkness left to
Hide all the pain
I'm in the bright light again (I'm in the bright light)

The nighttime loves you but it is
Not your friend
The lights will flicker and we're
Lost again
(Ooh) The crowd is laughing
But the joke, it isn't clear
I long to click my heels and
Disappear

I'm in the bright light
Forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives
Familiar but it's strange
Without enough darkness left to
Hide all the pain
I'm in the bright light again (I'm in the bright light)

I'm in the bright light again (I'm in the bright light)
I'm in the bright light again (I'm in the bright light)
I'm in the bright light again
