Natural Light (alternative first take recording) Songtext
von Drive‐By Truckers

Alright
Alright, you ready?
Alright

If it weren′t for the glow of the screen my dear
I'd think you were someone I used to know
But it′s your natural light I need to guide me home
I'll bring it about if you'll just let it show

Once in a while there′s a spectacle
A big deal to some, but too long for most
To be stuck between blasts while the colors fall
Stuck with yourself while it reloads


Sometimes it′s as cold as a loveless embrace
Or hot like a low seething rage
It ends where it ends, when it does, it begins
It cries when it wants, it wants when it needs, and it bleeds

When the countdown is up, you will wake up my love
And shine with your own light again
From the neck up and down
It's the down that I′m out to light up in you once again

If it weren't for the glow of the screen my dear
I′d think you were someone I used to know
But it's your natural light I need to guide me home
I′ll bring it about if you'll just let it show

I'll bring it about if you′ll just let it show
