The brightest light

I went away
the sun was out
my mind so taut
wrapped round your name
so dear to me
in all I see
in work and play

there's so much pain
as well as joy
I am your toy
again again
the longing's strong
as day is long
and will remain

   Unlock the door
   I stand before
   switch on the light
   the brightest light
   unlock the door
   and give me more (of)
   the brightest light

you make your move
and I sit tight
all day all night
how can I prove
I'm ready now
you take your bow
and stay aloof

and then goodbye
I wasn't told
we never spoke
only the eyes
shining from old
shining so bold
with the same fire

refr.
