You Chase The Light

You Chase The Light - The Innocence Mission

You get out of my head now, honey

You got out of my head

You and your colors,

you and your painting

I can forget you, probably

You stay out of my way now, honey

You just stay out of my way

This is my grace coast,

this is my homeland

You're always coming and going

Let's talk about your freedom

Talk about my lack of it

Let's talk about my feelings

Talk about your lack of them

You preach such beauty,

you miss the point

You go down with your friends every day

You go down to the sea

Light on the water,

for the light on the water

I work the whole day,

you chase the light

Look out there

Can't you see what I see?

what I see what I'm seeing

Go paint the ladies on the beach

They mean nothing to me

With crinolines and parasols

To shade their beautiful faces

From the sunlight

that you love so well

Isn't that funny?

No, I don't think that's funny

I think it's funny

So, you get out of

my head now, won't you?

Just stay out of my head

Move down the coastline

Move to a new town

And don't say you love me

What does that mean?

I don't want to keep you

bottled in my glass

You are a free moth, go,

chase the light

And leave me someday
