"Celestial Light" lyrics

"Celestial Light"

I was speaking to myself again just yesterday
Walking where the fen will meet the tide
Just saying that I haven't met a soul out here for years
And how it is I'm not sure that I mind

And I'm gonna throw my arms around the world someday
Surrender this weight into the sky
I haven't ever, I haven't ever made it through the night
Without first getting kissed by celestial light

I was walking by myself again just yesterday
Wandering through the back roads of my mind
Just saying that I haven't met a soul out here for years
And all at once the sky began to shine

And the landscape is seeking a language between us, wherever I go
And the joy beyond reach is a place I can seek what it is I know
I haven't ever, I really never made it through the night
Without first getting kissed by celestial light

And I'm gonna throw my arms around the world again
Surrender this weight into the ground
I haven't ever, I haven't ever made it through the night
Without first getting kissed by celestial light
Without first getting kissed by celestial light

And the landscape is speaking a language between us wherever I go
And the joy beyond reach is a place I can't speak of what it is I know
I hope you never, I hope you'll never make it through the night
Without first getting kissed by celestial light

Without first getting kissed
Without first getting kissed
Without first getting kissed by celestial light
