about

A Different Light: Unrequited love has a haunting quality and, from afar, a lonely heart is enraptured.

lyrics

Kept away from sight
A shrinking violet, low in Fahrenheit
Hard to notice with the naked eye
Her cry for help disguised
THOUGH I’M AN OPEN BOOK SHE TURNED THE CORNER OF MY PAGE
AN IRIDESCENT STAR LEFT WAITING IN THE WINGS
FOR CENTRE STAGE
She treads carefully
Where Angels fear her rage in silence
A smile shared from poles apart
Would thaw the winter in our hearts
THOUGH I’M AN OPEN BOOK SHE TURNED THE CORNER OF MY PAGE
NO WINDOWS AND NO DOORS HER BEAUTY IS SO COLD, SO STRANGE
I’ll take a chance some day
Deliberately get in her way
Face to face in this real world
That’s more than scripted cell phone pearls
THOUGH I’M AN OPEN BOOK SHE TURNED THE CORNER OF MY PAGE
WHAT SHE INVOKES IN ME CAN’T BE FATHOMED WON’T BE GAUGED
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D BE HER TRUE LOVE – FOR A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE HER
I’D BE HER SAVIOUR FROM A BEIGE EXISTENCE – IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE HER SEE HER SMILE BECOME A SUMMER BREEZE – FOR A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE HER
EACH MORNING WAKE ME TO A SYMPHONY – IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE HER
SHROUD US IN A VEIL OF EUPHORIA – FOR A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE
EACH NEW DAY I WOULD ADORE HER – IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT I’D LOVE HER
