Lyrics

Sensitive to Light

[Verse 1]

I was feelin' rather good, should've touched some wood

Here she comes again reachin' out to bend my ear

She's worth another look all the time it took

Pleasin' to the eye, how can I just disappear, oh, it ain't clear, no

[Chorus]

She's a bright and shining star

But I just must be sensitive to light

Oh I just might, yeah

[Verse 2]

I could have let her in, give her just a spin

Let her think it's love, better rise above it all

She's knockin' at the door, seems to want some more

Never gets the clue what am I to do she'll fall and she might call, oh no

[Chorus]

I say she's a bright and shining star

But I just must be sensitive to light

Oh, I just know

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

She could do me well, I can always tell

She's ready for the kill but I think that I will go, no

Sure I'm gonna see something just for me

Till it comes along when it's feelin' wrong I'll know, gotta take it slow, yeah

[Chorus]

She's a bright and shining star

But I just must be sensitive to light

Oh, I might, yeah

She's a bright and blazing star

But I just must be sensitive to light, yeah

Sensitive to light, oh
