"You Chase The Light" lyrics
"You Chase The Light"
You get out of my head now, honey
You get out of my head
You and your colors
You and your painting
I can forget you probably
You stay out of my way now, honey
You just stay out of my way
This is my Grace Coast
This is my homeland
You're always coming and going
But I always come back
I am drawn to this place
As I'm drawn to you
As I'm drawn to you
As I'm drawn to you
A moth to the light
To the light
Let's talk about your freedom
Talk about my lack of it
Let's talk about my feelings
Talk about your lack of them
You preach such beauty
You miss the point
You go down with your friends every day
You go down to the sea
Light on the water
For the light on the water
I work the whole day
You chase the light
Look out there!
Can't you see what I see?
Go paint the ladies on the beach
They mean nothing to me
They are part of the scenery
I don't know why you go on this way
With crinolines and parasols
To shade their beautiful faces
From the sunlight that you love so well
I love you more, I love you more
Isn't that funny?
No, I don't think that's funny
I think it's funny
So, you get out of my head now, won't you
Just stay out of my head
Move down the coastline
Move to a new town
And don't say you love me
What does that mean?
I don't want to keep you bottled in my glass
You are a free moth
Go chase the light

Broadcast - "Tears In The Typing Pool" Succumb to the line
The finishing time
The long-distance runner
Has stopped on the corner
But I won't give up
Although I've stopped too
Before the end of me and you
The patchwork explains
The land...
Martha Wainwright - "These Flowers" These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild
These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild...
Emmylou Harris - "Where Will I Be" The streets are cracked
And there's glass everywhere
And a baby stares out
With motherless eyes
Under long gone beauty
On fields of war
Trapped in lament
To the poet's core
Oh where oh where will I...
Camera Obscura - "James" James, he came to my place
He said he had to see my face
He hopes that we can still be friends
In his own way, he'll love me til the end
And, James, he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why...
Cat Power - "You May Know Him" Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much...
