Beacon in the Darkness - Gruff Rhys

Lighten up the dark avenues with golden glow worms

Raindrops fill my eyes

Tears falling, puddles form

And with a pocket full of Aspirin

I gather up my every day

As the target for assassin disappears and blows away

For you are the beacon in the darkness

You shine, the shining light at night

People in the way

Different times that we were playing

Kept it all inside

Growing like a big balloon

As if we lived in different planets

Of parallels that pull away

And the breathing apparatus is out of date

And in decay

Still, you are the beacon in the darkness

You shine the shining light at night

And you solve the mysteries of illusion

For you are the puzzle as complete

Gather up the board games

That we played when we were young

With father, mother, brother

Sister, daughter in the son

For you are the beacon in the darkness

You shine the shining light at night

And you solve the mysteries of illusion

For you are the puzzle as complete
