lyrics

When The lights Are Bright

When the lights are bright I never know where to be
When the lights are bright I never know where to be
When the lights are bright I never know where to be
Running through the night faces I long for to see

Here’s a little piece
Here’s a little piece
For you and you and you and you
How I wish it could be more

When the time is right I’m going to learn how to be
A perfect person with responsibilities

Have a little peace
Have a little peace in this world

When you’ve got a chance to stop
When you get a chance
You’ll hear the quiet ringing
Aahh Aahh

When the soil is good I’m going to learn how to sow
Stitch and fix and put
Pictures in a happy home

When the lights are bright I want to know where to be
Find myself at night faces are all facing me

I know that I’m dreaming of
Sunny days and some nights off
I know that I drift along
Wish I had more time to spend with you

I know that I’m dreaming of
Sunny days and some nights off
I know that I drift along
Wish I had more time to spend
More time to spend with you

about

Beth Porter Newton Stewart, UK

The songs from When The Lights Are Bright are dark, quirky, charming and ethereal Chamber-Pop, and depict themes such as fear, confusion, money, the weather and the odd cheesy love song, all carried by Beth’s pure and unaffected voice. Marshes have been likened to Cat Power, The Beatles, REM, This Is The Kit, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Radiohead, The Incredible String Band and The Kinks. ... more
