Nelson Gatlin - The Soft Light Lyrics

I chose the longest route back home
Steer from the lights and pass them on
It's late and dark and I'm alone

Fly past the trees on windy hill
Moon sees the leaves are moving still
Symbol of life, talk me to my death

Under the streetlamps, I'm too pale
They're daunting and grim but bright as hell
Shiners of light, lead me to the dark

I wish for the clouds to fall down
And hold me close until I drown
The rain will fall and so will I

Stormy night, sing me to sleep
In my dreams, she's mine to keep
The soft light
The soft warmth around us
She and I will sleep together

I'm shaking in fear from my shadow
It lays in the dark along the road
As I run, I'm out of breath and I smile

When I was young I held a knife
Was it mercy to save my life?
I let it all die as the years passed by

Stormy night, sing me to sleep
In my dreams, she's mine to keep
The soft light
The soft warmth around us
She and I will sleep forever
