[Lyric] Light Will Come (Ian David Green)

I walked upon the orange sands
Sifting grains of copper through my hands
Found a lady standing there
Skin of salt and pearl and charcoal hair

She said “You know that if we take this chance
Some sad embrace, some slow and awkward dance
For fools not lovers let us hang
The shallow song we thought that we could sing

“Look out across these mermaid waves
Upon these lost and lonely sailors’ graves
No matter how the stars align
The sun is always dragged below the line
No matter how we beg or cry
We cannot hold the colour in the sky
No matter to what god we pray
The dark will always cover up the day

“Oh oh oh the night will come
Oh oh oh the night will come”
I looked into her coral eyes
Said: “I do believe you’ve made me realise
I will not cry unto the sun
I will not look for hope from anyone
I will not stand against the night
Or rage against the dying of the light
Upon your words I run aground
At your feet I lay my anchor down

“But when the wind falls from our sails
Our hollow hearts and tired bones have failed
When the moon has withered in the sky
The sun has crawled into a hole to die
When all the stars have breathed their last
And all the planets bleed upon the mast
If then the universe will fold
And every spark will drown in cold
And every circle never turn again
Then damn the dark one dawn to free
Spend the cold night here with me
Beside this black and barren sea
And love will be its own reward you’ll see

“Oh oh oh the light will come
Oh oh oh the light will come”
