David Gray - The Light Lyrics

You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That smolders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire

Come a-rolling off the shadows of me
Rolling off the shadows of me
Rolling off the shadows of me

You say, I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
But back on the road destination uncertain
So let's get in this car and drive

And this feeling, I feel so strong
So powerful it can't be wrong
Now the whole frosted night is just a song

A song for you
Song for you
Song for you

And the moon is splashed right over the street
Like my tears on your thighs so pale
It's just you and me in the sheets
And I hope the whole wide world is just a jail

When you're away from me
You're away from me
You're away from me

And it's rolling on by
Here come the night
Turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That smolders in the night is tumbling boulders of desire

Rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling

Rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling out the shadows of me
Turn out the light
