Eastern Light

Where does the sun come from?
Where does it go?
Pretty mama
I think you must know

You come in the mornin’
You’re gone at night
Pretty babe
I think you’re the Eastern Light

What is this magic
You bring at night?
Child, when you leave
I feel so fine

There’s nothing less
You could do for me
Babe you speak
Like a summer dream

I wait for you
In the woods at dawn
Watch you walk away
When the sun goes down

I ask you if
You wanna spend the night
You say you wanna catch
The eight-thirty flight

Listen to me baby
I want to marry you
No one, no one else
Understands a thing I do

I’m hoping you
Decide to stay
It’s so hard
Loving you this way

Stood on my doorstep
After you’d gone
Heart full of feathers
And pieces of bone

Went to the river
Hoping you’d come
Your eyes full of lightning
And your hair all undone

Oh, listen to me baby
I want to marry you
No one else
Understands a thing I do

I’m hoping you
Decide to say
It’s so hard
Loving you this way

This way
This way
