The Bounding of the Light (Radio Blues) Lyrics

There is something unforgiving

In the bounding of the light

The way it circles days

Then hides in the night

The time ticks by

No matter the state of your mind

The seconds are weak

The hours are meek

They dissolve into weeks

And the days quickly fly

Until in the end

All that is left

Is a blur and a hasty goodbye

At each sure descent

And each uncertain rise

Comes the passing of a friend

And an enemy's reprise

When the evening dew starts

And breaks the moon into stars

And the stars fade away

To make room for the day

The time ticks by

No matter the state

Of your mind

The seconds are weak

The hours are meek

They dissolve into weeks

And the days quickly fly

Until in the end

All that is left

Is a blur and a hasty goodbye

When the sun splits the sky

And murders the night

Without guilt or remorse

That's when you find

That another day died

And I cannot help but fear

The passing of the time

The certainty of ending

The bounding of the light

The time ticks by

No matter the state of your mind

The seconds are weak

The hours are meek

They dissolve into weeks

And the days quickly fly

Until in the end

All that is left

Is a blur and a hasty goodbye

That's the bounding of the light

That's the coming of the night

That's the bounding of the light.

Goodnight, I say,

Goodnight.
