Bat For Lashes - I saw a Light

Album: Fur and Gold

Lyrics:
I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
Freshly cut lawns
And little children sleepwalking
I saw a light

I saw a light
Shining on a car
And a couple inside
Had committed suicide

Death in your arms
Death in your arms

I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
And I packed my things

After I saw the light
I packed my things
The light gave me life
Helped me see more clearly
And the children went to sleep
And the car was towed away
And the leaves were rustling
As the night turned to day

I saw a light
Getting smaller in the distance
And I said goodbye

[MrsIksYpsilon]

well, i like BFL, but i didn´t like this song very much. i think it´s really ordinary and didn´t have any deep..but then i looked to lyrics an i was shocked...that words are so...strong.....and now, i love it!

This was the album that accompanied me through a nervous breakdown and 6 week hospital admission. Everytime i hear it, i'm sucked back into those moments, and i realise how easy it would be to loose it all again.

I don't understand why everyone thinks this is a death song. It's about a woman who thinks she has a perfect life with this man until she sees a couple that committed suicide, then she realizes "I saw a light" , "it helped me see clearly" that she isn't truly happy. So stop confusing it.

Laconic lyric's song but I'm feel completely identified. Congratulations!

this would have been in the x-files if it were written in that time

Ta piosenka jest po prostu niesamowita. Taka inna. Miła odskoacznia od popowej sieczki którą serwuje nam radio ;p
