Guiding Light Songtext
von Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys

Falling through a spinning room
And I am wrestling with knowing
That seven years could be so long
And in the silence growing
A single drop of memory
A citadel around my kneeling form

And all across the city night
All the colours come alive
All the revelry it washes over me
Through the discord and the din
You would always draw me in
I, the iron. You, the lode
You are my guiding light


You are my compass
You′re my guiding light
You are my harbour
In the stormy night
And all the pieces of me
You keep them held together
You are my home
You're my guiding light

And you sang to me
With a voice so sweet and strong
You called me over through
A crowded room of strangers
And as the clamour realigned
You were by the fireside
It was like the first time that I was sober

And all across the city night
All the colours come alive
All the revelry it washes over me
Through the sickness setting in
You are amitriptyline
I, the infirm. You, the cure
You are my guiding light


You are my compass
You′re my guiding light
You are my harbour
In the stormy night
And all the pieces of me
You keep them held together
You are my home
You're my guiding light

And if the walls should crumble in
Resigned to rot and ruin
Through the rubble I would wander, heedless
'Cause through the discord and the din
You and I will huddle in
I can see that through it all
You were my guiding light

You are my compass
You′re my guiding light
You are my harbour
In the stormy night
And all the pieces of me
You keep them held together
You are my home
You′re my guiding light

You are my home
You're my guiding light
You′re my guiding light
You're my guiding light
You′re my guiding light
You're my guiding light
