The Big Light

Well I had a little feeling to have a big nightAnd woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite rightI had to face the who am I and where is she and what did I doBut worst of all I had to face the big lightThe big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelidsand it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I didI can't face another day and night of good ideas and complicationsAnd I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspirationWhen the hangover this morning had a personalityAnd I cast my shattered mind over selected memoriesI didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never seeThe haggard face that would be staring back at meThe big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelidsand it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I didI can't face another day and night of good ideas and complicationsAnd I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspirationWell I had a little feeling to have a big timeAnd I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chimeI had to face the who am I and who is she and what did I doBut worst of all I had to face the big lightThe big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelidsand it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I didI can't face another day and night of good ideas and complicationsAnd I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspirationWell, it's fine to go out and have a big nightBut sooner or later you're gonna face the big light
