Lyrics for Too Close To The Light

They all made you feel so safe Brought you to an imagined place A little warmer you'd have to say A kind of quiet place to stay Turn this side of wrong could be right For the living too close to the light Turn this side of wrong could be right For the living too close to the light Ashes and sand all around you now There ain't no way when there ain't no how Like a lawman checking your ID First thing you know you're a little less free Turn this side of wrong could be right For the living too close to the light Turn this side of wrong could be right For the living too close to the light Close to the light Close to the light Close to the light They all made you feel so safe Brought you to an imagined place A little warmer you'd have to say A kind of quiet place to stay Close to the light Close to the light Close to the light
