I heard the knock on my door |
|
I heard the ring of the bell |
|
I got the letter but i couldn't go |
|
So many thoughts in my head |
|
So many places to be |
|
So many faces that i long to see |
|
Standing in front of me tonight |
|
The lights will take me where i long to be |
|
Just like a thousand nights before |
|
Somebody said to me |
|
Why do you do this to you |
|
Why sit back and relax |
|
Go to the islands and forget it all |
|
Slow down, you're moving too fast |
|
You seem afraid it won't last |
|
Take my advice, go straight and settle down |
|
Thank you for caring, but tonight the lights will take me where i long to be |
|
Just like a thousand nights before |
|
I can't explain, it gives me something |
|
Give me the lights, precious lights |
|
Give me lights |
|
Give me my hope, give me my energy |
|
You can turn the wrong into right |
|
Precious lights |
|
Illuminate me, carry me away |
|
Carry me, carry me |
