Bright Light Bright Light - In Your Care lyrics

[Verse 1] Life is easy, sitting in New York Streets are loud so I never have to talk Days are long so there's time to forget Lift my eyes to the beautiful sunset Keep my distance except when I want to Feel the colour of what I learned about As a boy in the glow of a screen Set on leaving to make my life the dream Fill my mouth with the language of others Paint my skin with the shade of my lovers Hide the cracks with the smiles that they see Learn to be strong, and learn to be free [Chorus] And I know that to your eyes it seems like I'm alone I know that where you are I feel too far from home And I know I spend these days too far for you to share But somewhere over the water, all my dreams are still in your care [Verse 2] Every year as we crawl to December Count down the days till you think I remember Where I am from, and the life that you gave me If only you knew you were wrong 'Cos it's in the music, the words I've been singing It's the colour that never washes out It's the beat of this heart you've been missing It's the taste of the things you're wishing for Though my mouth moves in different directions And my skin knows another's touch by now All the cracks are as plain to see But I learn to be strong, and learn to be free [Chorus] Life is good out here in New York I miss my friends, I miss the rain But I catch a glimpse of you there in the rear view Hear you laugh in the words that I say I hope that you're OK I hope that there's colour in all your days And when I look out to the sea I hope that you're strong and I hope that you're free [Chorus] And I know that to your mind it seems like I'm alone I know that where you are I feel to far from home And I know I spend these days too far for you to share But somewhere over the water all my dreams are still in your care Life is easy over the water Life is easy
