World of Light Songtext

von John Wesley Harding

They were falling around in the darkness
Playing football when the floodlights failed
In the park
And they didn't stop
Though they couldn't see
And they laughed and fell
And skinned their knees
But they were not going to go without a fight
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Into a world of light

They were fooling around in the darkness
Right outside their hotel room
A black dog barked
And when they were done
They closed their eyes
And when they awoke
To their surprise
The bathroom shone and turned the whole room white
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Into a world of light

Oh and it's so black in here
And all I see is shadows of you now

I was trying to write in the darkness
But the page had turned
The colour of the ink
And inside the van
The driver and me
Were the only ones
Who weren't asleep
And a towncar overtook us on the right
Now we are all gone
Now we are all gone
Now we are all gone
Into a world of light
