Eternal light Lyrics

Fear begin to turn around
I guess if everyone listens
There's no one left to fight

In your heart someone's there
I'm sixty years old
With nothing left to say

Why does it really prove
When you ? away
Seems the message is
Gotta serve the sun

Now you don't know
When to listen or just let it go
Then I don't suppose
That you chose to walk a straight road
Then you'll never know

And I don't suppose
That you chose to walk a straight road
Then you'll never know

Why does it really prove
When you ? away
Seems the message is
Gotta serve the sun

Cover art for Eternal light lyrics by Teenage Fanclub

Although this song is really hard to understand (and totally awesome!), I think I might be able to suggest some edits for these lyrics:

Stanza I Fear begin to turn aright [instead of around: it sounds more like what is sung, and also rhymes with "fight" two lines later]

Stanza II In your heart someone said [instead of "someone's there"]

Stanza III Why doesn't it move you when you're here alone? It's like the message is gotten to us all (or got into our soul/gotten to our soul?)

Stanza V Then I don't suppose That you watched your ? spring grow [not sure on this one by any stretch] They would never know.

Anyway, that's my attempt. Regardless, if I ever meet Norman Blake, the first thing I'm doing is asking him what the lyrics to this song are. It's too good to remain a mystery!
