Lyrics
I heard the knock on my door
I received a visitor at my door.
I heard the ring of the bell
I heard the sound of the doorbell ringing.
I got the letter but I couldn't go
I received a letter but couldn't act on it.
So many thoughts in my head
My mind is filled with numerous thoughts.
So many places to be
I have many places to go.
So many faces that I long to see
There are many people I wish to see.
Standing in front of me tonight
Someone is in front of me tonight.
The lights will take me where I long to be
The lights will guide me to my desired destination.
Just like a thousand nights before
Similar to countless nights in the past.

Go to the islands and forget it all

Slow down, you're moving too fast

You seem afraid it won't last

Thank you for caring, but tonight the lights will take

Me where I long to be
