Tricks Of The Light Lyrics

I have a crazy man

Waiting for a confirmation.

Signs keep a-changing up.

I need some more information.


Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.

Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.

It's a trick of the light.

It's a trick of the light.


Something that tells me how,

Her bright blue eyes are shining.

She turns up her head now,

Where she walks, she's and I am.


[ Chorus ] 

Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.

Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.

And the spot that you saw so bright was just for show.

Could it ever have turned out right? You'll never know.

It's a trick of the light.

It's a trick of the light.


She turns, she takes his hand,

Breaking his concentration.

She burns at his command,

That ends some man's recollection.


[ Repeat Chorus ] 

Could it ever have turned out right, now?

It's a trick of the light.

That is something you'll never know.

It's a trick of the light.


Could it ever have turned out right, now?

It's a trick of the light.

That is something you'll never know.

It's a trick of the light.


Could it ever have turned out right, now?

It's a trick of the light.

That is something you'll never, something you'll never,

Something you'll never, something you'll never,

Something you'll never, something you'll never,

Something you'll never, something you'll never....
