Guiding Light

(albüm: Marquee Moon - 1977)

Do I, do I
Belong to the night
Only, only
Only tonight

All the ladies stay inside
Time may freeze, a world could cry
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers, and I hear the shouts
And though they never cry for help

Tell me who sends these
Infamous gifts
To make such a promise
And make such a slip

Oh no, can't pull a trick
Never the rose without the prick
Oh, but tell me how do I say
I woke up and it's yesterday
Do I again face this night

Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights

Darling, darling
Do we part like the seas
The roaring shell
The drifting of the leaves

But all intent remains unknown
It's time to sit up, sit up in the throne
It's seen before, but it's always new
So look close and see who's come through
Never again to face this night

Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
