Lights go out. It'll never be the same again
Did you know you glow in the dark?
Stars may shine, but they'll never find us where we are
They don't know the way you light the path
I'd spend hours waiting for the day
Frozen still without the light
But now even when stars are scared away
You help me see through even darkest night
They cut the power, set the sun
They plucked it from the sky
They smothered all the burning torches
Who gave them the right?
They closed the curtains, guttered flames
They tried to hide the way
But I'm not lost
As long as you glow in the dark
The sky's been clouded over for some time
And the wind won't blow away
The smokescreen overhead that blocks the sun and keeps us cold
It doesn't matter. I'll be fine
No one else believes you're here
I learnt that long ago
I understand you have to hide
No matter where you are, you're here with me
(You are always)
(You are always)
You are always floating by my side
[Chorus]
(You are always here)
If I could hold a mirror to your light so you could see
I'd do it in an instant so you'd know just what you are to me
They could take my sight
But I could find you with my eyes closed
I'm not lost
As long as you glow in the dark
