Night Light - Sleater-Kinney

Oh little light

That shines for me in the dark of night

Oh little sigh

Sometimes I follow you all the way home

I would almost have to ask you

I hate to be led

So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it?

This bitter and bloody world

Keep it together

And shine for your family

How do you do it?

With visions of worst to come

Live in the present

And spin off the rays of sun

Oh little beam

Splitting the fog and the dirt in between

Oh simplify

Like a problem you try to work out in your mind

I would almost have to ask you

It’s clumsy when said

So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it?

This bitter and bloody world

Keep it together

And shine for your family

How do you do it?

With visions of worst to come

Live in the present

And spin off the rays of sun
