The Clientele

Step into the Light

From Strange Geometry2005

Written by Alasdair MacLean

Produced by Brian O’Shaughnessy

Lyrics

Step into the Light

[Verse 1] To make a tempest of our dreams Your white skin on my lips, it seems That I must thread our fingers through This night without an end [Verse 2] So let your eyes uncover mine The fading heat, the broken lines The summer in the shadows Of your body next to mine [Chorus] And goodnight, my darling, goodnight My heart's empty The scenes that I'm playing go crazy before me When I close my eyes But won't you step into the light? Won't you move out of the shadows? Won't you step into the light? I'm losing my mind [Verse 3] And I burned down right to my skin To needled fingertips The empty day, a breviary That shivers into this, that shivers into this [Verse 4] A starry summer evening came Our murmured love has closed the frame On everybody walking outside Underneath the stars [Verse 5] So let your eyes uncover mine The fading heat, the broken lines The summer in the shadows Of your body next to mine [Chorus] And goodnight, my darling, goodnight My heart's empty The scenes that I'm playing go crazy before me When I close my eyes But won't you step into the light? Won't you move out of the shadows? Won't you step into the light? I'm losing my mind
