Little White Lights

from Sam Winston - The Fire & The Icicle by Sam Winston

/

about

This song came together as a result of my passion for acoustic instruments. From mandolins to harmonicas, I really enjoyed piecing it all together. "Little White Lights" speaks of lost love softened by the power of hope.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I wake from a sleep
I don't feel you here
Beside me the bed is cold,
I scratch at the scars
Where these wounds haven't healed
Inside me they just won't go,

And though you're gone
We will see each other
In another life,
Give it time,
We'll be guided by the little bright,
Little white lights.

I dream in my sleep
of projector slides out of focus,
But I hope 'cos there's light,
I can see you staring up at the stars
in their fine white pepper storms,

Though you're gone
We will see each other
In another life,
Give it time,
We'll be guided by the little bright,
Little white lights.

Heaven was too kind to us
Too soon it takes it all away,
And emptiness erodes my faith,
But I'll be optimistic
In this world so cold and twisted,
You were all I ever wanted,
All I ever needed,
All I gotta do is say...

When I wake from a sleep
I believe you're here beside me
As I grow old,
I scratch at the ceiling
One fine evening,
Finally break through to you,

Singing though you're gone
We will see each other
In another life,
Give it time,
We'll be guided by the little bright,
Little white lights.
And though you're gone
We will see each other
In another life,
It is time,
To be guided by the little bright,
Little white lights.
