Crystal Light Lyrics
Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
*Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs,
find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
stumble the
road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
* Repeat
* Repeat
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
stumble the
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
* Repeat

I have seen several versions of the lyrics to this song, and none of them agree. I think it’s about a guy standing under a streetlight in a dead end town he’s decided to move on from, seeing the town and its people as having no hope and realising he has to move on to make something of his life. \nThe lyrics I hear go like this:\n\nStandin\' by the roadside, future in my hands\nCoat I\'m wearings blowing cold\nTurn my back to the wind\nWinter mists along the coast\nCity lights close down\nThe old empty station there\nTrain line cuts the ground\nTrain line cuts the ground\n\n[Chorus]\nCrystal light shinin\' bright\nShine on down for me\nMoon is even passin\' by, trying not to see\nLike a fool I hit that road, took my time to see\nLife was only foolin\' me\n\nCold crisp air, it burns my lungs, find it hard to breathe\nThe hospital shut their gates, I can\'t get me no peace\nWeaker people stand and scream, stumble in the road\nClose my eyes, turn off the lights\nHaven’t found a dream, haven’t found a dream\n\nCrystal light, shining bright, shine on down for me\nMoon is even passing by, trying not to see\nLike a fool I hit that road, took my time to see,\nLife was only fooling me,\nGive me back belief.
