[Verse 1, Barry Palmer]
I'm half a crazy man
Waiting for confirmation
Signs keep changing and
I need some more information

[Chorus, Maggie Reilly and Barry Palmer]
Some tricks of the light
You never know
Make a flickering midnight light
Into a glow
It's a trick of the light
It's a trick of the light

[Verse 2, Barry Palmer]
Something tells me how
Her bright blue eyes are smiling
She turns her head now
Will she won't she deny him

[Chorus, Maggie Reilly and Barry Palmer]
Some tricks of the light
You never know
Make a flickering midnight light
Into a glow
And spark that you saw so bright
Was just for show
Could it ever have turned out right
You'll never know
It's a trick of the light
It's a trick of the light
[Verse 3, Barry Palmer]
She turns, she takes his hand
Breaking his concentration
She burns at his command
Makes some transfiguration

[Chorus, Maggie Reilly and Barry Palmer]
Some tricks of the light
You never know
Make a flickering midnight light
Into a glow
And spark that you saw so bright
Was just for show
Could it ever have turned out right
You'll never know
It's a trick of the light
It's a trick of the light

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro, Maggie Reilly and Barry Palmer]
Could it ever have turned out right
It's a trick of the light
That is something you'll never know
It's a trick of the light
Could it ever have turned out right
It's a trick of the light
That is something you'll never know
It's a trick of the light
Could it ever have turned out right
It's a trick of the light
That is something you'll never...
That is something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
Something you'll never...
