Blue Moon

33) Bright Lights

Give me the bright lights,

they were like heaven, and heaven has eyes

So bright, these were like the stars which the sky

                      just blinks away.

Give me the bright lights, they say 'look at me now'

and wish me good night,

the stars wait up with me on those insomnia dream kills

and then they wait up for me in moon berceuse

            but I just blink them away

Give me the bright lights, light the way stranger

and let's just drift on the clouds like

leaves in an autumn pond,

Give me the bright lights, yes

I wish on angel pin heads

               and their halos glow

                        I blow them all away, dandelion wish seeds

               (they all float away...)

Give me the bright lights,

bring me the bright lights

Let's light up these dark nights
