Lyrics The Cat Empire

The Cat Empire

Steal The Light

Sing now muse I won’t be scared

She’s wearing flowers not snakes up in her hair tonight

And love we’ve been around before

We washed up on the old shore but it’s new tonight

‘It’s only light’ she said

‘But we are liars to be free’

Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see

The hour falls we fall to dance

Now sirens and the marching bands sing

‘It’s nothing but chance tonight’

The billion ones and many few

And everyone I never new they’re here tonight

‘It’s only light’ we said

But we are liars to be free

Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see

What if I’m lonely?

What if the skies should fall and disappear?

For one night only

Open your eyes and run into the clear

So if I may, what if I say

‘It’s good to have you here!’

She said ‘If you lead I’ll come along

And if you need me there I’ll sing your song tonight

And all that glows and all that shines

And all we leave behind will keep them warm tonight’

‘It’s only light’ I said

But we are liars to be free

Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see

What if I’m lonely?

What if the skies should fall and disappear?

For one night only

Open your eyes and run into the clear

I love you only

Until the skies fall down and disappear

So if I may, what if I say

‘It’s good to have you here!’

Oh oh oh…
