The Lightning Seeds
"Pure"

Night time slows,
raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know,
could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and i love you...

just lying smiling in the dark,
shooting stars around my heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you're crying in your sleep,
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time

dream of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons,
can make you decide
as leaves pur down, splash
autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights,
and i love you...

just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you're crying in your sleep,
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping,
pure and simple every time
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple every time
frsh and deep as oceans new,
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you...

if lvoes the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
i've found a place i'll never leave,
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth i realise
not a stream of pretty lies,
to use us up and waste our time...
