Searchlights

I wonder if you’re warm tonight
And if you found something as bright
And I wonder if you remember me right
You might, you might, you might

But I’m sure you’ve reduced me to a shadow
Haunting, but entirely peripheral
And I wonder if you remember at all
You might

I’m always shining - I should know better than to keep
Always shining - radiating heat
I’m always, I’m always

I’ve got to give up
What have I become in these 400 days without sun
I’d like to know why I can’t stop the searchlights
Out across the empty sky

If only I surrendered more easily
Accepted the loss with some dignity
And I wonder if maybe that’s a better way to be
Because I’m running out of energy

I’m always shining - code for you and me
Always shining - emerald green
I’m always, I’m always

I’ve got to give up
What have I become in these 400 days without sun
I’d like to know why I can’t stop the searchlights

Where have you gone
I cannot break this vigil; I’m awake
I’ve been waiting up all night
I’ve been waiting so long
So tell me where have you gone
Tell me, where have you gone
Where have you gone

I’ve got to give up
What have I become in these 400 days without sun
I’d like to know why I can’t stop the searchlights
Out across the empty sky
