Lyrics by Thea Kelley
Music by Larry Otis

lyrics

The summer evening breeze is
silk across my skin
It's getting late but I don't
feel like turning in
Sometimes I think I've lived the
whole day half asleep
Is this contentment maybe
priced a little steep?
Is it just ego makes me
want to leave a mark?
or do I need to feed some
fuel to a spark?

sooner or later
we're gone anyhow
got something to do
better do it now

I've seen beyond the wall
at moments, now and then
but my illusions snapped back
into place again
we're so determined to have
faith in the mundane
questioning reality just
seems a bit insane
but there's no time to waste
no space for what's not true
and I'm not here to fear the
message coming through

sooner or later
we're gone anyhow
got something to do
better do it now

Light, shine on us now
Light, shine on us now
Light, shine on us, now, now, now

I'm singing to myself the
truth I need to hear
my mind is cloudy and then
other times quite clear
and I'm surrounded by these
miracles on feet
I open for a moment, and
then I'm in retreat
but as I run away I'll
say I wish you well,
and if you have a dream,
my friend, then what the hell

sooner or later
we're gone anyhow
got something to do
better do it now

Light, shine on us now
Light, shine on us now
Light, shine on us, now, now, now

Luminous Newts Berkeley, California

Eclectic, original, melodic prog-pop-rock group headed by two singer-songwriters. Based in Berkeley, California.

Not derivative and not predictable. Not good at describing ourselves. Interested in hearing your take on it.
