I walked out on a bridge
The city lights so near
I walked through streets and alleyways
Strangely not in fear
In the chilly autumn mist
I thought I saw your face
But a gust of wind reminded me
You've long left this place
You said they're lights in the darkness
But shadows in the light
Don't go achin' as you wander stumblin' blindly towards the light
By the lights of the darkness
Shadows of the light
I saw a candle burn somewhere around 5th avenue
I saw the headlights flicker
And a distant plane in view
But I couldn't see before me
What had been there all along
I got tangled in the music
I stumbled on a song
But the lights of the darkness and the shadows of the light
Kept me moving, kept me crawling somehow, maybe towards the light
And the lights of the darkness
Are the shadows of the light
I stared down at the page
The pen strokes glistened bright
They asked what I was doing
If it all was worth the fight
And in my mind cascading came a vision of the dawn
The colors they surround me
Leave me naked in a fog
And the lights of the darkness and the shadows of the light
Are all that stand between me and that great eternal light
Called the Light of the Darkness
The Shadow of the Light
I walked out on a bridge
The city lights so near
I walked through streets and alleyways
Strangely not in fear
In the chilly autumn mist
I thought I saw your face
I thought I heard you breathing
But you've long left this place
