The Bright Light
written by Tanya Donelly

.

stone cold in this warm bed again
wide awake and waiting for them
i send my shadow running on ahead again
i wait and wait and...

i'm waving in my beautiful friends
over there on the end of the

the bright light
the bright light
the bright light begins it

the grass is high and the sky is low tonight
i wanna be here, i wanna be gone
and this time i won't cry, i won't

i'm waving in my beautiful friends
over there on the end of the

the bright light
the bright light
the bright light begins it

and i get sucked into it again
wild and high on the summer wind

i'm in for a love so tough i could break my teeth
if i bit down hard upon it
and a voice so rich just the sound of it
is forever nauseating

and i get sucked into it again
wild and high on the summer wind

the bright light
the bright light
the bright light begins it

and i get sucked into it again
wild and high on the summer wind
wild and high on the summer wind
