mike vass - just enough to let the light in lyrics
its just gone ten years since i met you
there’ll be ten more and there’ll be a score and
still our fire gently smoulders and
that little bit fire still glows close to your door
just enough to let the light in
just enough and no more
me the yang, you my shining yin
oh we paddled our boat and i lost my oar
must be nine since i loved you
a love that would sink the worlds hate
and, still our fire gently smoulders
and that little bit fire still glows close to your gate
then its eight since i left you
since i put my foot on the brake
i was just young and uncertain
with much growing to do but you couldn’t wait
just enough to let the light in
cut away with your blade!
hand in hand and skin on skin
we built our castle of sand and i broke my spade
so for seven long years and a day i have mourned
i know you have too and if you only knew
that i was just young and uncertain
left a hole in my heart for you to look through
just enough to let the light in
you’ll find a shimmering blue
i watched you weary and grow thin
etched our prism of faith but i proved untrue
for six years and five i lost my way
hurried along and been less right than wrong
and in four and three suffered sickness
and this cyclical dream where i don’t belong
two then one the fire fades
our torch it dims now and it won’t be long
and for one or two you’ve been married away
and i missed my chance to sing you this song
close your chest don’t let the light in
bury this kist and melt down the key
all meaning is lost and i’m frightened
now where will i go and who should i be?
shut my eyes don’t let the light in
for my mornings are cold
and in the next life i’ll begin again
but as penance for now, i’ll be growing old
