Torchlight
Torchlight
I'd been wandering that bleak country lane
I cursed the darkness and the pouring rain
I came across
A torch-lit house
A trembling joy slipped off my mouth
I ran with torchlight in my hand
Yes with torchlight in my hand
She introduced herself and seized
My hand to guide me
To a chair and then to her cheeks
Oh, she put the lights off
Yet she left a torchlight burning
She left a torchlight burning outside
She left a torchlight burning outside, outside in the Hall
I left the house in summer
Roamed the parched and rainless country
Then set out for strange lands
I got back with that bleak void in my heart
And with torchlight in my hand
Yes with torchlight in my hand
With a torchlight I had come full circle just to find Her again
On well lit roads we drive alone
Taking love anywhere but home
Painful days
Bodies entwined on a bloodred sofa
Taking turns in crying
For grief and care we almost died
She left the torchlight burning
She left the torchlight burning on
She left the torchlight burning outside in the hall
I'd been wandering that bleak country lane
I cursed the darkness and the pouring rain
I came across
A torch-lit house
A trembling joy slipped off my mouth
I ran with torchlight in my hand
Yes with torchlight in my hand
She introduced herself and seized
My hand to guide me
To a chair and then to her cheeks
Oh, she put the lights off
Yet she left a torchlight burning
She left a torchlight burning outside
She left a torchlight burning outside, outside in the Hall
I left the house in summer
Roamed the parched and rainless country
Then set out for strange lands
I got back with that bleak void in my heart
And with torchlight in my hand
Yes with torchlight in my hand
With a torchlight I had come full circle just to find Her again
On well lit roads we drive alone
Taking love anywhere but home
Painful days
Bodies entwined on a bloodred sofa
Taking turns in crying
For grief and care we almost died
She left the torchlight burning
She left the torchlight burning on
She left the torchlight burning outside in the hall
