Robyn Hitchcock Ghost Of Light Lyrics

Sweet ghost of light, when you appear,
you fall around me, everywhere.
I see your face as you pass by,
as fragile as a dragonfly.
You jab me in the kidneys like,
a compass or an iron spike,
but I can't help belief in you,
because I love the things you do.
Sweet ghost of light, I've lived too long,
I'd die for you inside this song.
The sweetest death that I can dream.
Like petals flowing down a stream,
That turn to blood, as they dissolve,
it's all around you I revolve.
Sweet ghost of light, you'll never fade,
By nothing else are you betrayed.
You fill me 'til I'm empty and,
you empty me like grains of sand.
I love you more than anyone,
beneath the moon, beneath the sun.
