[Verse 1]
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her
Wash it off cause this feeling we can share

[Chorus]
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air

[Verse 2]
Byzantine is reflected in our pond
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm
Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass
Even out, its a precious thing to bear

[Chorus]
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air

[Verse 3]
Its not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving in both directions
How to be happy and true is quest were taking on together
Take it on, on, on, on, on
Take it on, on, on, on, on

There's a light when my baby's in my arms

[Chorus]
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air

[Outro]
Yes I know she's reached my heart

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
