I Need the Light

As the glare of the head lights cuts through the night My thoughts turn to you and the ghosts in your life I can feel the air shift as the rain turns to snow And I drift through darkness alone As I head up the highway from sea to the sky Mountains ahead and the city behind I can see we all fall from heights that we climb And the path moves us forward in time Go, I'll be fine 'Cause sparks burn out all of the time One little snowflake on my tongue There for a second, then gone And underneath these winter skies Stripped naked there's nowhere to hide I'll pull the stars down from the night 'Cause I need the light The heart wants to stay but the head says to run Like frost on the glass clouds your view of the sun As the icicles drip like the tears from your eyes And the ache of your wanting floats by Go, I'll be fine 'Cause sparks burn out all of the time One little snowflake on my tongue There for a second, then gone And underneath these winter skies Stripped naked there's nowhere to hide I'll pull the stars down from the night 'Cause I need the light One little snowflake on my tongue There for a second, then gone And underneath these winter skies Stripped naked there's nowhere to hide I'll pull the stars down from the night 'Cause I need the light I need the light
