Hard Light by David Mallett

It’s so warm and it’s so nice to lie here in your harbor

And you tell me all the things that you know I need to hear.

Let us rest and do our best to forget the coming morning

Cuz the hard light of the truth of things is the only thing I fear.

You can walk in satin shoes and I can march a warrior

Straight into your waiting arms where virtue has no price.

Together at the birth of love the seedling falls around us.

To make it last the night must pass through the fire and the ice.

Cuz I have seen the lonely ones who stand on endless corners

Homeless in their homes where days are dark and hearts do die

And I’ve heard tales of forever and I can see what we are after

But in between the laughter I hear echoes of good-bye.

It’s so nice and so warm to lie here in your harbor

Can you tell me all the things that you know I need to hear?

So let us rest and do our best to forget the coming morning

cuz the hard light of the truth of things is the only thing I fear.

(underlined words I’m not 100% sure of)
