Lyrics Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter

A Certain Light

My new lover, sweet and kind

The kind of lover that one rarely finds

And I'm happy for the first time, in a long time

Came along and opened up the door

And though I know I've been in love before

Oh I feel it, so much more, than the last time

And she only looks like you

In a certain kind of light

When she holds her head just right

Its been winter, for a while

The north winds wail cut like a baby child

It was hard to think or smile

That brings springtime

But it did and now it is

The green green grass

Is come up green and its

Feeling just the way it did

The very first time

And she only looks like you

In a certain kind of light

When she holds her head just right

And anymore, it'd stretch the rhyme

So let me leave this where I started, I'm

Just happy for the first time

In a long time

In a long time
