Gruff Rhys Follow

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And the breathing apparatus is out of date

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

Lighten up the dark avenues with golden glow worms
Raindrops fill my eyes
Tears falling, puddles form
