The night has come and left me Just the light that you allow Fill my head with, oh, such foolish dreams My flesh and blood is no more real to me My love for you is burning I feel your mark upon me now As surely as the hand that leaves a bruise And life comes hard for some Well, the rest of us were flesh and blood Make it hard all on our own Was the freedom to refuse Or something of my own to love enough Is leaving smoke behind my eyes When the part of me that wants to change Fights the part of me that tries 'Cause I've turned the gold light on You've got to learn to shine, shine on your own I stepped out of darkness and for a moment I'm only living by your kiss And just for now our flesh and blood Is no more real to me than this No more real to me than this
