Look At What The Light Did Now Lyrics
Hear it like a pounce upon a peak, oh
Look at what the light did now
Bear it like a bounce upon the beak, oh
Look at what the light did now
Land and water and bird or beast, oh
Look at what the light did now
Shiny little band or golden fleece, oh
Look at what the light did now
(Chorus): Look at what the light did now (x3)
In my will I went 'till it's wasted
Look at what the light did now
Taste the taste I taste 'till it's tasted
Look at what the light did now
Bought it like a boast that burly beaming
Look at what the light did now
Got it like a ghost that girly gleaming
Look at what the light did now
(Chorus)
Like a dead tree that's dry and leaving
Look at what the light did now
Play it on me with grief and grieving
Look at what the light did now
I would finally fall to pieces
Look at what the light did now
We'll meet soon as newphew's nieces
Look at what the light did now
(Chorus)
Look at what the light did now
Bear it like a bounce upon the beak, oh
Look at what the light did now
Land and water and bird or beast, oh
Look at what the light did now
Shiny little band or golden fleece, oh
Look at what the light did now
Look at what the light did now
Taste the taste I taste 'till it's tasted
Look at what the light did now
Bought it like a boast that burly beaming
Look at what the light did now
Got it like a ghost that girly gleaming
Look at what the light did now
Look at what the light did now
Play it on me with grief and grieving
Look at what the light did now
I would finally fall to pieces
Look at what the light did now
We'll meet soon as newphew's nieces
Look at what the light did now

The light of the sun nurtures growth and change of all living things. It also illuminates, upon waking each morning, the inevitable decline that brings us all one day closer to death. The end.
I absolutely love this song. I just tried to do the lyrics by ear and got a a few lines different ("peak oh" instead of "pickle" in the first line is a notable difference). Kyle Fields is amazing.
no real comment on what you have to say, just that i love the user name.

I definatly agree with you about that line IWantWindToBlow, so I've changed it. I have no idea why I was thinking he was just pronouncing pickle akwardly so it would rhyme with beagle (seemed likely at the time I suppose).
Beautiful song by the way- very bittersweet.
beautiful song. just thinking that if the first line in the first verse is "Hear it like a pounce upon a peak, oh", then it makes sense that the following line would be "Bear it like a bounce upon the beak, oh." at least, that's what it sounds like to me. and that's how i always sing in whenever i play it on guitar.
artslut: I think you're right on! Thanks for your input. I seriously could not find any meaning to this song until I read your comment.
Could the "light" be taken in more spiritual terms?
