Just when I thought I saw the light
At the edge of the tunnel
I lost all confindence
And I turned to run

Just as the spoken word
And the bottomless soul became one
I no longer understood the language
And I turned to run

The way the lights are shining
Out on the bay tonight
There will be no denying
When we touch and embrace the night

A smokey twist has become you
And laced your every move
And it reaches back behind the persona
That kills when you lose

A sudden jolt, a reminder
There at the edge of my tongue
Oooh the heat beside you is crippling
And you know I can't run

The way the lights are shining
Out on the bay tonight
There will be no denying
When we touch and embrace the night
