Guiding Light
Do I, do I
Belong to the night?
Only, only
Only tonight
All the ladies stay inside
Time may freeze, a world could cry
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers, and I hear the shouts
And though they never cry for help
Tell me who sends these
Infamous gifts
To make such a promise
And make such a slip
Oh, no, can't pull a trick
Never the rose without the prick
Oh, but tell me, how do I say?
I woke up and it's yesterday
Do I again face this night?
Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
Darling, darling
Do we part like the seas?
The roaring shells
The drifting of the leaves
But all intent remains unknown
It's time to sit up, sit up in the throne
It's seen before, but it's always new
So look close and see who's come through
Never again to face this night
Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
Belong to the night?
Only, only
Only tonight
All the ladies stay inside
Time may freeze, a world could cry
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers, and I hear the shouts
And though they never cry for help
Tell me who sends these
Infamous gifts
To make such a promise
And make such a slip
Oh, no, can't pull a trick
Never the rose without the prick
Oh, but tell me, how do I say?
I woke up and it's yesterday
Do I again face this night?
Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
Darling, darling
Do we part like the seas?
The roaring shells
The drifting of the leaves
But all intent remains unknown
It's time to sit up, sit up in the throne
It's seen before, but it's always new
So look close and see who's come through
Never again to face this night
Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
