Lyrics

[Intro]
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love, it won't be long
[Verse 1]
Oh, sugar, don't you cry
Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eye
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Alright now
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
[Verse 2]
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
[Chorus]
Oh, come on
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
[Bridge]
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (Baby, baby, baby, light my way)
[Verse 3]
I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a lightbulb
Hanging over my bed
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
[Verse 4]
Ultraviolet

[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way, yeah
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
