Night Light : by Sleater-Kinney

Oh lit­tle light
That shines for me in the dark of night
Oh lit­tle sigh
Some­times I fol­low you all the way home
I would almost have to ask you
I hate to be led
So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it
This bit­ter and bloody world
Keep it together and shine for your fam­ily
How do you do it
With visions of worst to come
Live in the present
And spin off the rays of sun

Oh lit­tle beam
Split­ting the fog and the dirt in between
Oh sim­plify
Like a prob­lem you try to work out in your mind
I would almost have to ask you
It’s clumsy when said
So give me a spark I can look for instead
