John Wesley Harding
World of Light
[Verse 1]
They were falling around in the darkness
Playing football when the floodlights failed
In the park
And they didn't stop
Though they couldn't see
And they laughed and fell
And they skinned their knees
But they were not going to go without a fight
[Chorus]
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Into a world of light
[Verse 2]
They were fooling around in the darkness
Right outside their hotel room
A black dog barked
And when they were donе
They closed their еyes
And when they awoke
To their surprise
The bathroom shone and turned the whole room white
[Chorus]
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Now they are all gone
Into a world of light
[Bridge]
Oh, and it's so black in here
All I see is shadows of you now
[Verse 3]
I was trying to write in the darkness
But the page had turned
The colour of the ink
And inside the van
The driver and me
We were the only ones
Who weren't asleep
And a town car overtook us on the right
[Chorus]
Now we are all gone
Now we are all gone
Now we are all gone
Into a world of light
