Until The Light Takes Us Lyrics

Today I got a home to a letter from an old friend

Said he was working on finding his smile

He'd lent it with his heart and left only fear for himself

He spoke of how much he missed being a child

It made me think of a neighbour I known long ago

He spent his days tending pet sheep

Till one summer came and he went away

He died of throat cancer on his birthday

He came to me in a dream and said

'Jacob, Jacob. I never smoked a day in my life'

'You see some people come, some go' he said

'Some people say they will lay with their god

But me I pictured a peaceful black, you see

Where I would lay and think of all that i'd had'

I don't know where I'm going but I know that I'll meet meet him there

This I know to be true

I don't know when I'll leave but I will leave one day

This I know to be true

This is know to be true

Midsummer has come to our walled in park

We spend our day amongst all the stone

By the warmth of your hand, there lies a statue in decay

A shadow fell heavy across my soul

I thought of all those who lay in the somme mud

I pictured all those who perished in France

You asked if I'd play you this song

When you're old and tired

And asked if our love would die when are grey

When we are grey

I don't know where I'm going but I know that I'll meet meet you there

This I know to be true

I don't know when I'll leave but I will leave one day

This I know to be true

This is know to be true

Tonight I sat down to write a reply

I said my friend don't ever be ashamed

Our dreams may fade, be glad that you had them yesterday

You are here now as I am here now

You see I am me and you can be you

That's all I think we can do

That's all I think we can do
