Only the Light Knows

from Insert by Vernous

lyrics

The land between belongs to neither you nor me
It's an aid we use to help us see
the will and the ways that our lives must lead
Here or there we may never be

We travel by car and we travel by night
If there was no other way we would travel by flight
And it's hard to say from where the light comes
And when it stops running it doesn't stop til it's done

It goes up it goes down before it decays
and at most it lasts just a couple of days
The land between belongs to neither you nor me
It's an aid we use to help us see

Come to terms with your self
every morning you're at home
You don't need no one else
When all you want is just your self

I wish I could say just what makes it go out
then I'd have to pay the price of a life without
We feel so embarrassed when we let it all go
Only the light knows how little we know

And when we are sleeping and we rise before dawn
only right then now can we know what is wrong
You can be the little light of mine
You can be the little light of mine
