Lyrics
I remember when you would hold me provide your healing touch
Everything will be alright you told me when things got to be too much
Has this turned out to be all lies
There’s something missing in your eyes
There was a light but it’s gone
There was a light but it’s gone
There was a light there was a light
There was a light but it’s gone
Like the lady out in the harbor welcoming and strong
We should court her with a lover’s ardor but the turn we’ve taken is wrong
Something has vanished into the air
Something that we counted on is no longer there
There was a light . . .
And you meant everything to me
Nothing lasts forever but I didn’t see this coming
And I know what it’s like to be free
Do you hear the drumming do you hear the drumming
Do you hear the drumming
