The Last Bright Light

I'm grieving for the dreams that you could have had
Mist in the rain, snow on the rising tide
Over and over they disappear
I'm grieving for the love that we could have had
The feeling was there, I just couldn't say the words
Holding you close as we said goodbye

The last bright light
The last bright light
The last bright light

I'd rather put life in your heart
Than money in your hand
I'd rather put dreams where they can fly
Let them disappear
In the emptiness
A cold heart dies
I hope that you know that I love you

The bright sun is swelling out of control
Nature is losing a child of her own
Burning her hands she's holding the fort to the last
The blue pearl is swallowed, snow on the rising tide
Thoughts will scatter like ancient remains
Beyond the night sky

The last bright light
The last bright light
The last bright light
The last bright light

I'd rather put life in your heart
I'd rather put dreams where they can fly
The terrible truth, the tears and the filth
The ghost of a winter so dim in your eyes
Standing alone, the sun in the night
Burning the autumn, the world on its knees
I hope that you know that I love you
I hope that you know that we love you
Away in the emptiness a cold star dies
I know that you know that we'll miss you

"Going back to Glass Shadows, erm, our current album"
"And this is a song, erm, that is sort of closing a door on an era of, erm, grandparents really"
"Unfortunately with my parents is behind that door as well"
"But, erm, seeing his father die, erm, a couple of years ago"
"And, er, at the very same time that he died and we sort of went to his funeral"
"And, erm, I actually came back to York and out of the blue"
"Erm, bumped into the love of my life and we now have a son, Harlem"
"And it just sort of blew me away really
