The Light in Your Name - These New Puritans

The door was open

I walked in la-da-la-da

Your clothes without you in them

Your name without you with it

I am your last, I am your least

I walked in la-da-la-da

I was a grain of sand, you were the still black sea

And though they growl and spit

Don’t let them pull you away

And though the waves will spin

Don’t let them

Can’t you see it moving like ghosts dancing

All the light in your name

Pick a colour I’ll fade into

Is dreaming further or closer?

I will be waiting

This the colour I’ll fade into

I want a light that’s blinding

I will be waiting

When I row out the air and sea become one thing

Until I reach the mouth

And though the waves will hit

Don’t let them pull you away

Can’t you see it moving like ghosts dancing

All the light in your name

Pick a colour I’ll fade into

Is dreaming further or closer?

I will be waiting

You had me pasted over

I’ll hold you nearer still

You have led me out here

I can’t lead you back again
