And Light Shines Lyrics - David Lynch

In all configurations 

The curve is the thing that can go back on itself 

Over and over 

As the stars turn around each other 

And light the way for travelers 

Who come along through time 

Looking for that one that could bend the path just so 

To take us home 

And light shines 

And light shines 

Around the table, where they all sit smiling 

Hands with fingers moving as they tell their stories of being lost 

Then found 

No matter what the place, they saw the face 

Of one who showed the way along the road well-traveled 

And light shines 

And light shines 

But so few were seen and sometimes it was a figure alone 

When night came and thunderstorms 

And rain fell from clouds which hit the sun 

And no birds sing, no flowers grew in this darkness 

Which closed around and smothered the man 

To strange dreams of wanting 

Yet never knowing what 

And light shines 

And light shines 

And a longing was the only feeling left 

As the road way grew narrow and steep 

And the clime was like an aching in the dim light 

One foot after the other upwards 

A man at the crest 

Which is thought to be only a wish 

The dawn king like warriors with sounds filling all sky 

And a roar deep as the bottom of hell 

And darkness was torn away 

So the angels came with the swimming light of heaven 

And there was pain no more 

Only a soaring of the heart 

And a living memory of totality 

And light shines 

And light shines 

And light shines 

And light shines 

And light shines 

And light shines
