lyrics

Sweetness and Light

Babylon talking can’t believe what you say
Light the fuse and then you walk away
Now turning in not turning out
You know it’s all about to blow

If all sweetness and light fades tonight
Into the bomb-blast afterglow
If all sweetness and light fades tonight
I’ll dream into tomorrow

If we’re winding down why are we so wound around
Holding the line so tight
If we let it go will it ebb and flow
Or is this the undertow

If all sweetness and light fades tonight
Into eternal blue sorrow
If all sweetness and light fades tonight
I’ll dream into tomorrow

Don’t wanna talk no more about the devil at the door
C’mon pick me off the floor
C’mon hold me tight take me through this lonesome night
Until we reach sweetness and light
Mad gears are turning, churning fear and blame
What the hell are we spurning anyway
All I know is I need you so, take the wheel in your hands and know
We’ll make our way back home

If all sweetness and light fades tonight
Into the blindness we followed
If all sweetness and light fades tonight
I’ll dream into tomorrow
Sweetness and light…
Into the madness we wallowed…
Dream into tomorrow
