I Need The Light Lyrics

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
