Light Will Come

I walked upon the orange sands Sifting grains of copper through my hands Found a lady standing there Skin of salt and pearl and charcoal hair She said "You know that if we take this chance Some sad embrace, some slow and awkward dance For fools not lovers let us hang The shallow song we thought that we could sing "Look out across these mermaid waves Upon these lost and lonely sailors' graves No matter how the stars align The sun is always dragged below the line No matter how we beg or cry We cannot hold the colour in the sky No matter to what god we pray The dark will always cover up the day "Oh oh oh the night will come Oh oh oh the night will come" I looked into her coral eyes Said: "I do believe you've made me realise I will not cry unto the sun I will not look for hope from anyone I will not stand against the night Or rage against the dying of the light Upon your words I run aground At your feet I lay my anchor down "But when the wind falls from our sails Our hollow hearts and tired bones have failed When the moon has withered in the sky The sun has crawled into a hole to die When all the stars have breathed their last And all the planets bleed upon the mast If then the universe will fold And every spark will drown in cold And every circle never turn again Then damn the dark one dawn to free Spend the cold night here with me Beside this black and barren sea And love will be its own reward you'll see "Oh oh oh the light will come Oh oh oh the light will come"
