Lyrics

I Saw a Light

I saw a light I saw a light Coming through the trees I saw a light Coming through the trees Freshly cut lawns And little children sleepwalking I saw a light I saw a light Shining on a car And a couple inside Had committed suicide Death in your arms Death in your arms I saw a light I saw a light Coming through the trees And I packed my things After I saw the light I packed my things The light gave me life Helped me see more clearly And the children went to sleep And the car was towed away And the leaves were rustling As the night turned to day I saw a light Getting smaller in the distance And I said goodbye
