" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: "The Devil Sips his Tea"

Hope is A Ray of Light

Hope is a ray of light in the darkness
Hope is a ray of light in the darkness

The sun is going down
The kids are playing out
I can see them now

If these words are all I have
To show this love
It's not enough
It's not enough

Hope is a ray of light in the darkness
Hope is a ray of light in the darkness

I always set aside this hour
It brings me close to you somehow
Like it does right now

I don't pretend we'll be as one
But like the setting of the sun
It shall be done
It shall be done
It must be done
It must be done
It shall be done

Oh, we were never wrong
But those stars we dreamed upon
Are all gone
I'm barely trying to hide
That something beautiful has died
It's gone inside
It's gone inside
Something beautiful has died

Hear the whistling through the trees
Through the floor someone's T.V.
Please, think of me

As I sit beside the head
Of your still-warm bed
Sleep on
Now you're gone

Hope is a ray of light in the darkness
Hope is a ray of light in the darkness

On a night as black as black
I know there's no going back
Now, that's a fact

But oh, I wish in the evening's you'd come to me
Girl, I'd sit you on my knee
You'd be safe with me
You could cling to me
And it would be
It would be
A very different story
