Lyrics
intro
Verse 1
As the shadows fall, and I hear the call
Of the ghosts of all, written on the wall
bridge
Even though you're gone, I can feel the tingle
Of your spirits mingle with the wind
Refrain
Now I can perceive, truly, I believe
Found a lasting glow of light (Lasting glow of light)
We’ve a lasting glow of light (Lasting glow of light)
Verse 2
Through the paths I roam, toward a newer home
Out into the loam, far across the foam
bridge
While I watch the fields, where the cats were playing
Memories are staying in my soul
Refrain
Now I can perceive, truly, I believe
Found a lasting glow of light (Lasting glow of light)
We’ve a lasting glow of light
interlude
bridge
Since you had to fly, and the stars are scattered
Nothing else has mattered till today
Refrain
Now I can perceive, truly, I believe
Found a lasting glow of light (Lasting glow of light)
We’ve a lasting glow of light (Lasting glow of light)
Outro
We’ve a lasting glow of light
