Beth Orton - It's Not the Spotlight lyrics

Shining down on me

I don't have to tell you

How welcome it would be

I felt the light before

But I let it slip away

And I just keep on believing

That it'll come back someday

It's not the spotlight

It's not the candlelight

It's not the streetlights

Of some old street of dreams

It ain't the moon light

Not even the sunlight

But I seen it shining in your eyes

And you know what I mean

Sometimes I try to tell myself

The light was never real

Just a fantasy that used to be

The way I used to feel

But you and I know better

Even though it's been so long

Now if your memory really serves you well

You'll never tell me no wrong
