Paula Cole Love Light (cardinal)
Crimson cardinal sees his life,
Into the glass he fl ies.
The perfect partner he does spy,
A moment’s glance of eyes.
Refl ections of a future love,
Feel the pull of fate.
The perfect love turned out to be,
Himself in haste and vain,
Passion’s fl ash of red,
Bloodied on the pane.
In your eyes I fi nd,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight.
Blinded by surprise,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight.
All the qualities I loved,
Now bite me black and blue.
All the joys you loved in me,
Come biting back at you.
So innocent we found ourselves,
Becoming what we feared.
‘Til death do us our shadows part,
Make room through all these tears,
‘Til something new appears,
Reborn in this nadir.
In your eyes I fi nd,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight.
Blinded by surprise,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight,
You are my lovelight.
I won’t fi nd happiness, looking outside myself.
I’ll fi nd my happiness, looking inside myself.
