All that bright she's throwing
Like some aurora
From her head it's growing
Reaching to the ground and all around
Like a Navajo blanket
Never heard her singing
Now she's gently ringing
Like copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her Cheshire cousin
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up
Now you see I'm smiling
Back to juvenile'ing
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger
I can't stop this grinning
So assume I'm winning
Threw pessimism
In the air it's spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away with sweets
And shiny things just like a magpie
Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me
Now every closing door just fans the flames some more
(Now I'm thinking okay)
(I'm turning night into day)
Never seen her glowing All that bright she's throwing Like some aurora From her head it's growing Reaching to the ground and all around Like a Navajo blanket Never heard her singing Now she's gently ringing Like copper wind chimes What on earth is bringing up this stream The cat who got the cream is licking her lips And smiling like her Cheshire cousin She claims she's found a way to make her own light All you do is smile, you banish the night She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away She says she's burning up Now you see I'm smiling Back to juvenile'ing I learnt her lesson In like flint and styling All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger I can't stop this grinning So assume I'm winning Threw pessimism In the air it's spinning Crashing to the floor and nevermore Will it lure me away with sweets And shiny things just like a magpie Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me Now every closing door just fans the flames some more (Now I'm thinking okay) (I'm turning night into day) Explain Request ×
