And regardless in the evening   Light is thrown by the setting sun   Speeds along this vast familiar   And silently crosses everyone      It's the light that's changing   It's the light that's changing   It's the light that's changing   It's only the light      Across the schoolyards, across the gardens   Across the chapels where lovers have leapt   Across the table in our old kitchen   Across the cities where our future slept      It's the light that's changing   It's the light that's changing   It's the light that's changing   It's only the light      What can I do to defy you?   Oh, what can I do to deny you?   'Cause I want no part of this breaking   This is a hurtful mistake you are making      And to me this love was true and shining   Oh, these years were real and defining   Please, please don't forget how much I meant to you   When, when you are redefined by someone new      Across what's left of these old places   Across the playgrounds where old friends play   Across the lines on familiar faces   Across the nothing that we say      It's the light that's breaking   It's the light that's breaking   It's the light that's breaking   It's only the light
