In Your Care - Bright Light Bright Light

Life is easy sitting in New York

Streets are loud so I never have to talk

Days are long so there's time to forget

Lift my eyes to the beautiful sunset

Keep my distance except when I want to

Feel the colour of what I learned about

As a boy in the glow of a screen

Set on leaving to make my life the dream

Fill my mouth with the language of others

Paint my skin with the shade of my lovers

Hide the cracks with the smiles that they see

Learn to be strong and learn to be free

And I know that to your eyes

It seems like I'm alone

I know that where you are

I feel too far from home

And I know I spend these days

Too far for you to share

But somewhere over the water

All my dreams are still in your care

Every year as we crawl to December

Count down the days till you think I remember

Where I am from

And the life that you gave me

If only you knew you were wrong

Cos it's in the music

The words I've been singing

It's the colour that never washes out

It's the beat of this heart you've been missing

It's the taste of the things you're wishing for

Though my mouth moves in different directions

And my skin knows another's touch by now

All the cracks are as plain to see

But I learn to be strong

And learn to be free

And I know that to your mind

It seems like I'm alone

I know that where you are

I feel to far from home

And I know I spend these days

Too far for you to share

But somewhere over the water

All my dreams are still in your care

Life is good out here in New York

I miss my friends I miss the rain

But I catch a glimpse of you

There in the rear view

Hear you laugh in the words that I say

I hope that you're OK

I hope that there's colour in all your days

And when I look out to the sea I hope

That you're strong

And I hope that you're free

And I know that to your mind

It seems like I'm alone

I know that where you are

I feel to far from home

And I know I spend these days

Too far for you to share

But somewhere over the water

All my dreams are still in your care

And I know that to your mind

It seems like I'm alone

I know that where you are

I feel to far from home

And I know I spend these days

Too far for you to share

But somewhere over the water

All my dreams are still in your care

Life is easy

Over the water Life is easy

Over the water Life is easy
