I read all the philosophies
The theory ideologies
They leave me cold I sit around at tables talking
Long into the night and when we're walking home
You take me by the hand
You say you understand
And this is all the light I need
I know we've had our ups and downs
I play the fool I play the clown
Just like a man
I think it wouldn't be so bad
If only you believed I had some kind of plan
But as the evening fades
You say you're going to stay
And this is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
You come to me and then
You love me once again
And this is all the light I need
When we found the going tough
You always seemed to have enough
To pull us through
Although I never mention it
I often wonder how I'd manage without you
You say that in the end
You'll always be my friend
And this is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
You come to me and then
You love me once again
And this is all the light I need
You say that in the end
You'll always be my friend
And this is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
You come to me and then
You love me once again
This is all the light I need
This is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
This is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
This is all the light I need
The theory ideologies
They leave me cold I sit around at tables talking
Long into the night and when we're walking home
You take me by the hand
You say you understand
And this is all the light I need
I know we've had our ups and downs
I play the fool I play the clown
Just like a man
I think it wouldn't be so bad
If only you believed I had some kind of plan
But as the evening fades
You say you're going to stay
And this is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
You come to me and then
You love me once again
And this is all the light I need
When we found the going tough

To pull us through

This is all the light I need
This is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
This is all the light I need
And these are all the clothes that keep me warm
This is all the light I need
