Lyrics
A Certain Slant Of Light
As the colours fade away my love
As the darkness turns to day above
Celebrate the one you love
And she says she has a friend inside
Who shows her everything she tries
to hide
Please stop the pain inside
She don’t know
Please stop her pain
I think she’s coming down again
I hear the rain
She’s coming down again
I hear the rain
And she’s dancing with the hands of fate
While she’s sleeping with the on she hates
And tonight they celebrate
