The Light (Part IV)

And regardless in the evening
 Light is thrown by the setting sun
 Speeds along this vast familiar
 And silently crosses everyone
 It's the light that's changing
 It's the light that's changing
 It's the light that's changing
 It's only the light
 Across the schoolyards, across the gardens
 Across the chapels where lovers have leapt
 Across the table in our old kitchen
 Across the cities where our future slept
 It's the light that's changing
 It's the light that's changing
 It's the light that's changing
 It's only the light
 What can I do to defy you?
 Oh, what can I do to deny you?
 'Cause I want no part of this breaking
 This is a hurtful mistake you are making
 And to me this love was true and shining
 Oh, these years were real and defining
 Please, please don't forget how much I meant to you
 When, when you are redefined by someone new
 Across what's left of these old places
 Across the playgrounds where old friends play
 Across the lines on familiar faces
 Across the nothing that we say
 It's the light that's breaking
 It's the light that's breaking
 It's the light that's breaking
 It's only the light
