New Model Army

White Light

New Model Army


It's another heroes' sunset 
I'm riding on the Great North Road 
Coiled and tensed in wonder 
As the land turns burning gold 

Ch: Out in the sun, out in the wind 
I'm nearly ready now to come back again 

We are silent in this worship 
Beneath the breathing of the summer trees 
They sparkle in a dance of silver 
As the light falls through the leaves 

Ch: Out in the sun, out in the wind 
I'm nearly ready now to come back again 

So from the wisdom of trances, the armies of Jesus 
To the voodoo possessions, the different disguises 
At dusk in the mountains all bowed in surrender 
A thousand voices calling out a million names 

We knelt as we lit the candles 
Around the little shrine 
Take me back to the white light 
I want to go there again 

Ch: Out in the sun, out in the wind 
I'm nearly ready now to come back again
