Lyrics

All You Need Is Light

Words & Music by Ellis Glover

So I say adieu to the poetess who
smiles on winters roses, but withers every bloom.
And the daffodil girl and her boy on the run,
they have climbed the highest hill
and they have touched the sun.

I am tired of the darkness, I long to embrace the light,
I say sweet dreams to the morning, and bid good day to darkest night.

So I overthrow my mistress of the snow
whose long white fingers I kissed in valleys low.
And the pied April girl and her December boy
have burned through the ice with sun-suffused joy.

I am tired of the darkness, I long to embrace the light,
I say sweet dreams to the morning, and bid good day to darkest night.
So I leave behind those thoughts that were unkind
and try to find the sun that illuminates the mind.
And now I do believe Johnny boy was right,
all you need is love, all you need is light.
