Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out,
oh lovely dreamer, magic prince,
come and swoop you up, swoop you up
but now no I, just might guess,
man at all, i'll grow up, I came your way
nobody so special, will dream us away,
nobody to sweep you away,
and oh light, oh light come and lift me up

Oh light please, come lift me up,
oh sweet light come lift me up,
when you go down, remember your steps as a baby,
remembering how you walked,
remembering all the sweetest dreamin' you did,
while you tick-tack alone

Now all gone, there's nothin' left,
but your dream I wrote in a song
Just like the bent back of an old woman,
you know it's all gone and severed alone,
and so I rhyme

So now all your secrets,
they all look the same as all inside,
she feels swallowed up, oh she feels tired as she could,
but creepin' will roll us along

But it's all over, oh,
it's all alone, so long,
oh Lucy's alone,
sweet Lucy loves the way of the world,
like the bent back of an old woman

Why soon, this way ?
Why soon, my way ?

I came cryin' till you came, upon my knees,
beggin father lift me up please,
but no, answer came down, oh flower child,
just emptiness inside of me

Oh light lift me up, please lift me up,
come down and pick me away
Forgive me all my selfish ways,
sweet light pick me up from my misery

Why, do I come back to you,
the way, I do,
the way, I picture you,
in the way that I picture you

Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up from bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light
