If I Ever See the Light Songtext
von Willie Nile

Dark street staring at my feet
It isn′t shown, it's unknown
Just where I′m going to

Heartbeat tangled in deceit
I feel numb not a crump
Of hope left on my plate
O lord and it's getting late

But if I ever see the light
If I ever see the light
I'm gonna walk up to it
Put my fist right through it
Gonna grab with all my might


Cold sweet haunted with regret
Chills roll cross my soul
It ain′t over yet

In deep how′m I gonna sleep
The ghost's dance got no chance
Cause when it gets this black
There′s no turning back

But if I ever see the light
If I ever see the light
I'm gonna walk up to it
Put my fist right through it
Gonna grab with all my might

By the wall where shadows fall people stare
In the gutter lost souls mutter
"Is anyone there, does anybody care?
I mean it, I mean it, I mean it, I swear"
