lyrics

In my heart i know you're right
But i just want to get through the night
I want to wake and see the dawn
Ahead of me a new horizon
Endlessly stretching on

I can't sleep with the light on
'Cause then i see where we're going
And i don't want to look
You could say I've read the book
And i don't want to spoil the ending

In my dreams i see the light
But my dreams are not real life
As I wake they're sliding out of view
Fading into a paler hue
Melting like the morning dew

So I sleep with the light on
When there is no consolation
No beginning or end
No reason to pretend
Just the hope that something better's
Round the bend.
