Tears of light Drip through my hotel window And into tired eyes They yawn across the ceiling Cracked and flaking like old stones Resting on the dresser With the coffee and the key Shine a light Turn the night back into morning Shine a light Take the night away from me Will I wake up somewhere quiet and palatial? A museum or a daydream
Will I wake up in a town I should slept through? Oo, oo-oo, oo-oo Oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
All the minutes feel like hours Feel like seconds Feel like days Am I here? Are you awake? Am I away? Am I anyone at all? Do I even have a body anymore? Tears of light Drip from my eyes Through the floor into the lobby Where they pool like blood or water Till the sun burns down the dawn Pulls the vapor back up to my starving lungs And into corners Of my brain That I don't know or even care to Am I here? Am I alone and do I dare to? Shine a light Turn the night back into morning Shine a light Take the night away from me Shine a light Turn the night back into morning ♪ Shine a light Take the night away from me
