The Light That Surrounds You Songtext
von Phil Shöenfelt

Never thought I′d fall so hard
Down on my hands and knees
The sky was dark and the door was open
I said, "Oh baby please don't leave..."
She built a wall
Back in the corner of her mind
That she just sit behind
And the nightmares never end
They just go on and on forever
Like a river to the sea
And it′s killin' me


Said, "Baby turn your lights up high
Lead me to the other side"
Said, "Baby turn your lights up high
Lead me to the other side"
And I swear one day I'm gonna crawl
Said I swear one day I′m gonna crawl
I′m gonna crawl right to the top of that wall
Reach down under
Pull her out of that hole
I'll pull her out of that hole
Pull her out of that hole, yeah
I′m gonna save my baby's soul

She said, "Baby, if you please
I′ve been diggin' this hole forever
Don′t you try to set me free
Just let me be..."

Take me down under the ocean
The night is so dark I can't breathe
And we'll meet at the end of forever
And I′ll know when I′ve found you
By the light that surrounds you


And sometimes
I still think I see her standing there
Sunlight shinin' in her hair
But the Sandman came
And took that little girl away
Dragged her down beneath the waters
Cold and grey
Beneath the waters cold and grey
She walks on waters cold and grey
Yeah, this time I know she′s gone to stay
Where the nightmares never end
They just go on and on forever
Like a river to the sea
And it's killin′ me

Take me down under the ocean
The night is so dark I can't breathe
And we′ll meet at the end of forever
And I'll know when I've found you
By the light that surrounds you
