Steal the Light - The Cat Empire

Sing now muse, I won’t be scared

She’s wearing flowers, not snakes up in her hair tonight

And love, we’ve been around before

We washed up on the old shore, but it’s new tonight

It’s only light, she said

But we are liars to be free

We steal the light to see

The hour falls, we fall to dance

The sirens and the marching band sing

It’s nothing but chance tonight

A billion ones and many few

When everyone I never knew, they’re here tonight

It’s only light, we said

But we are liars to be free

We steal the light to see

What if I’m lonely?

What if the sky should fall and disappear?

For one night only

Open your eyes and run to be free

So if I may, what if I say it’s good to have you here?

She said if you lead I’ll come along

And if you need me there I’ll sing your song tonight

And all that glows and all that shines

And all we leave behind will keep us warm tonight

It’s only light, I said

But we are liars to be free

We steal the light to see

What if I’m lonely?

What if the sky should fall and disappear?

For one night only

Open your eyes and run to be free

I love you only

Until the skies fall down and disappear

So if I may, what if I say it’s good to have you here?
