I Forget and I Can't Tell (Ballad of the Lights, Part 1) Songtext
von Arthur Russell

Shining through the trees I see
Nothing but lights there
There′s so many I can't tell
They′re all just one light shining everywhere

I will wait long as I can
Until I find you
Yours is so bright I can't tell
My light is bright
It is unguarded too


Tried to find the center of
Your light is so bright
I forget and I can't tell
You are so bright
Your light is so bright tonight

I can′t tell which light is yours
They are all so bright
All together I can′t tell
Meet me tonight
Meet me in the light tonight

Many lights are out tonight
I'm waiting for yours
Many pillars I can′t tell
I have a choice
Now that I am out of doors
