lyrics

First Light

In the first stream of light through the blinds
For a moment mistaken
As I slowly come to realise
That these visions were behind closed eyes
And that what I have lived
In these hours, or these minutes past
Is dream, memory or simple desire
An echo of loss or of hope, but nothing more

I will lay here in this place between worlds
Let blurred boundaries linger
Enjoy the illusion as long as I can
Preserve the small chance, I could reach out my hand right now
And find it in yours
Like I did so many times before
But I know that reality is not on my side
And in time I’ll have to turn and find your pillow undisturbed, once more

In time I’ll see you once again
In the first light of morning
And the wait will be over
And the future will be ours to go for
Yes I will come to see you once again
In the first light of morning
And the worry and the doubt that you felt in the dark
We’ll consign it to the past, we need never be apart again

The passage of time, people told me was not on my side
But each passing day, brings me closer to you
In my half empty bed, I cannot hold a thought in my head beyond
Anything, that brings me closer to you again
And I'm counting the days, yes I’m counting the days

And I will soon be with you once again
Beside you when you wake or stir in your sleep
I’ll be the one you dreamt of but can keep
The first light comes and with it one last day
‘Til I will come to see you once again
Yes I will come to see you once again

Storey London, UK

Combining consummate musicianship, an ear for poetry and soaring lyricism, Storey's music charts a beguiling course through the urban summer. From their hypnotic trademark vocal harmonies to the funky dance-fused beats and cascading guitar motifs, these are sounds which burrow into the bloodstream; music you want to share. Yet deep down, a part of you really
wants to keep for yourself... ... more
