Light Quotes

Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your own,Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.Down the street the neon light shines,Offering refuge and hope to the blind,Who stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low,And I end up looking for some winner goal.Yes I should know better but I can't say no.
Gerry Rafferty
