illumination

Paul Weller

I close my eyes - but sleep won t come
You re in my waking dreams
It s a feeling right inside of me
til you re in my arms again

the prayer I ask - is where I m going to
without your undying love
I m as worthless as a cold, cold sun
that shines for no-one - at all

how many time - must I return
from distant oceans - just to learn
that with your song
illumination comes

I close my eyes
and I hear no-one
I m in a moving film
it s balck and white
and beautiful
