Deacon Blue This Changing Light
I wrote this once before Long before the summer You were then a student And we were dark as angels We were in the east Working to the west The west was looking south And the south she had no pity But last night I dreamed And you were always In it There were Hopes and plans and schemes And the town was full of winners Oh brother Oh sister This changing light Has lighted things so Differently Has lighted things so Differently I wrote this once before And we were all then working We thought we`d stop the flow Of a cruel and heartless woman If I`d known this then What would these wings have done They`d have beat and flapped and flown And not done and not done But last night I dreamed And you were always In it There were Hopes and plans and schemes And the town was full of winners Oh brother Oh sister This changing light Has lighted things so Differently Has lighted things so Differently Oh brother Oh sister This changing light Oh brother Oh sister This changing light Oh brother Oh sister This changing light Has lighted things so Differently Lighted things so Differently So differently I wrote it on my hand I kept it in the dark I never ran it through my hair I stuffed it in my pocket I wrote this on a journey All the way from Spain Where our fellows fought And never came back again To this changing light To this changing light Dark dark Changing light Dark dark dark dark Light 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1989 To this changing light To this changing light Changing light To this changing light
