The Smallest Thing
In the light of day
They seemed so clear
(They seemed so near)
These ways you blazed
For all our years
(These days you raised to all our cheers)
We all see
What you played
(we all see the traps were laid)
We all know
The contracts made
(We see just what you paid)
You lit the flame
You took the blame
You saw the world
And you were heard
We remember
Though it seems
Like the smallest thing
We can bring
As the days fade
They seem so near
(They seem so dear)
And in the shade they reappear
(The night delayed the coast is clear)
I don’t care
What they say
(You burned bright to light the day)
But time won’t stop
The ways we strayed
(Circling above the fray)
Stars burn away
They seem so clear
(They seem so near)
The wind that preyed
On all our fears
(The violin for all our tears)
We all see
What you played
(We all see the traps they laid)
And we all know just what you paid
(We know the contracts made)
