Thoughts from one of those lonely, late night, lost in thought, kind of walks |
Light the Way One foot forward, That’s how you keep walking One word slides out, That’s how they keep on talking The past is just a vague partner, Just a part of the show But when it’s time to turn off the lights, I can’t let it go Light the way, Light the way for me Such a long time I’ve been alone Lay awake, Lay awake with me Then any hole I live in I can call my home Just a few, a few little things, Little things I know How to look ahead to the brighter days, But still I can’t let it go Someone say, Someone say to me That maybe one day I can come into my own Light the way, Light the way for me Such a long time I’ve been alone Downtown there’s a thousand little people, Going about a thousand little lives Just a mess, all kinds of footsteps, That all kind of pass me by There’s a bunch of towers, all steel and stone, Grabbing out like fingers at the sky Dotted all up with a thousand windows, A thousand points of citylight Pretty machines all sleek and clean, Just going along for the ride Little worlds can end with a bang like thunder Or fade out like a little sigh Open up the curtains and stare into the sun, Or hide behind the window blinds One thing is certain when it’s all said and done, It’s still a thousand points of citylight |
