[Verse 1] You are the light You are the one that I reach for in the night My bonny, my lovely, my one [Verse 2] You are the sweetest thing The quiet that calls to the trouble within But I see something dark ahead, Im closing my eyes [Chorus] Ill leave the stars to the glittering night And gladly remember a want that you wouldnt Stray from reason, staged by fate One hand on the bottle, one pointing the way We are all of us drifting down to an early grave [Verse 3] We kept back the cold We were warm from the fever inside of our bones But so foolish to think we were safe for the night Were not here alone [Chorus] Ill leave the stars to the glittering night And gladly remember a want that wouldnt Holding the needle close to her chest Im guiding the hand of the one you love best As the phone is ringing at the library reception desk La da da da, la da da da, aaaah, la da da dah [Outro] Ill make for the harbour Under the light of the dying sun I will walk towards the drifters dawn for you, my darling...
da, glittering, la, gladly, staged
