lyrics

A light that shines brighter than most
Night after night you played the host
To boozers and to schemers so foul mouthed and untrue
Subservient to the brute who cherished you

God knows how hard it must have been
A good spirit trapped on the outside screaming in
With false charms well applied and a ring forecasting a bride
All those creative hopes lost unto him

Oh the wasteful deal was nearly sealed
For many it was never revealed
How a being so pure
Could so willingly endure
Well, thank god you got out when you could

Nine months after I left for the smoke
I returned to the inn in spring with heavy heart
Those fears all disappeared for you’d stored up all your tears
And sailed away to pave a brand new start

Oh the fallout was awful so they say
With smashing, cursing and bloodshed all the day
Well he tore the town apart with his fists swinging through the dark
A raging bitter drunk for a bitter heart

A light that burns brighter than most
Somewhere you dance and charm and raise a toast
To old wounds better nursed and tiresome fates now reversed
A smile for everyone across your path

Oh that wasteful deal was nearly sealed
To many it was never any good
How a being so pure
Could be forced to endure
Well thank god you got out when you could.
