Green Spandex Lyrics
I guess this is the rushed goodbye
That I thought would never come
The woman who lit the light
For a family in the dark
Starring at the mirror
I see your smile through my own
Your spark embedded deep inside
Will give me strength
Will give us hope
And I’ll never lose your touch
No I’ll never lose touch
This will take me a while
Because I miss your smile
I guess I new your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
It’s gonna take me a while
Thank you for your loyal stance
Green spandex and crazy style
Thank you for the happiness
That you gave to our lives
Although now our hearts are cracked
And our tears are slow to dry
We must count ourselves
The lucky ones
For we were with you in your prime
And I’ll never lose your touch
No I’ll never lose touch
Please stay in touch
Because I need you in my heart
Please stay in touch
I need your touch
That I thought would never come
The woman who lit the light
For a family in the dark
Starring at the mirror
I see your smile through my own
Your spark embedded deep inside
Will give me strength
Will give us hope
No I’ll never lose touch
Because I miss your smile
I guess I new your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
It’s gonna take me a while
Green spandex and crazy style
Thank you for the happiness
That you gave to our lives
Although now our hearts are cracked
And our tears are slow to dry
We must count ourselves
The lucky ones
For we were with you in your prime
No I’ll never lose touch
Because I need you in my heart
Please stay in touch
I need your touch

i love this song soooooooooooo much.... by far my favorite song! xavier rudd is just so hole to himself.... i look up to this man greatly. peace
yes Xavier is awesome..... but what is this song about?
i love this song. i thinks its about breaking up with a girlfriend...
i love this song so much!!!!!!!!!!!! i reckon it could be either bout a girlfriend or like is mother of g'mother dieing... but the best song EVER!!!!
this is probably about a mother or grandmother dying that he was close to. so beautiful and powerful in a simple way. love it. it makes me think of a friend who just lost the g master ...
I don't really think it's about a girlfriend leaving, maybe a wife dying. Just purely from looking at the lyrics, 'I see your smile through my own'. So, either a mother or grandmother. A kind of positive memorial song. Just beautiful.
this song is definately about either his mother or grandmother passing. "The woman who lit the light For a family in the dark" shows that this lady was a good provider for an otherwise struggling family. "starring at the mirror, i see you smile through my own" his smile is something passed down to him through his genes, hence the relative.
He writes such beautiful music does Xavier, sometimes its hard to see the full meanings behind his songs..
I actually know what this song is about, he talked about it in a recent concert - its his wifes grandmother dying a number of years ago. Great song, one of his best - although an old one he never plays called Nevonotesh is probably my favorite
I finally get the song...Passing of a mother/grandmother
This song is definitely about somebody much loved passing away. It sounds like a breakup song too, except for: "Thank you for the happiness That you gave to our lives Although now our hearts are cracked And our tears are slow to dry We must count ourselves The lucky ones For we were with you in your prime" To me it's very clear it's about somebody dying or moving away. 'Keep in touch' could be someone moving away, or it could be a romantic way of missing a dead person?
