You're gone as suddenly as you came to me
Like nightfall followed dawn without a day between
You're gone and suddenly I can't see
I'm in the shadow of you
I'm in the shadow of you

I can see you in my minds rose-tinted eye
Somewhere you're drifting by
Your heels rolling sparks on the lucky street

While here am I left behind
Stunned and blind
But I can see you from here
I can see you so clear

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day
I have the night
But we have the early hours together

You're gone, and heaven cries
A thunderstorm breaks from the northern sky
Chasing you back to the daily grind

You're gone and where am I?
A haunted life
The ghost of your laughter
The half empty glass
The half empty glass

And I wait
Till midnight tolls
Two souls almost touching in the dark
I'll be alright

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day I have the night
But we have the early hours
We have the early hours
We have the early hours together
