Strange Lights

(album: October Sky - 2012)

I was always told
Son be careful now
People never are
What they seem somehow

But I keep rolling down
The streets at night
Never biting nails
In the dim limelight

I keep roaming
The silent plains and
I'm captivated
By flaring signs once again

Strange lights, strange lights
Shining down on me wherever I go
Strange lights, strange lights
Watching out for me whatever I do
And I keep on waiting
I've been waiting all my life
For strange lights, strange lights
They found me here
To carry me home

Did you ever fear
Utter loneliness
I won't let it get me
That's my bliss

If I ever am
On the critical list
I just have to wait
For the beams to shift

I keep roaming
The silent plains and
I'm captivated
By flaring signs once again

Strange lights, strange lights
Shining down on me wherever I go
Strange lights, strange lights
Watching out for me whatever I do
And I keep on waiting
I've been waiting all my life
For strange lights, strange lights
They found me here
To carry me home
