The Light

And regardless in the evening Light is thrown by the setting sun Speeds along this vast familiar And silently crosses everyone It's the light that's changing It's the light that's changing It's the light that's changing It's only the light Across the schoolyards, across the gardens Across the chapels where lovers have leapt Across the table in our old kitchen Across the cities where our future slept It's the light that's changing It's the light that's changing It's the light that's changing It's only the light What can I do to defy you? Oh, what can I do to deny you? 'Cause I want no part of this breaking This is a hurtful mistake you are making And to me this love was true and shining Oh, these years were real and defining Please, please don't forget how much I meant to you When, when you are redefined by someone new Across what's left of these old places Across the playgrounds where old friends play Across the lines on familiar faces Across the nothing that we say It's the light that's breaking It's the light that's breaking It's the light that's breaking It's only the light
