"The Big Light" Lyrics:
Well I had a little feeling to have a big night And I woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right I had to face the who am I and where is she and what did I do But worst of all I had to face the big light Chorus:The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids And it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I did I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration When the hangover this morning had a personality And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories I didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never see The Haggard face that would be staring back at me (Chorus) Well I had a little feeling to have a big time And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime I had to face the who am I and who is she and what did I do But worst of all I had to face the big light (Chorus) Oh when it’s time to go out and have a big night Sooner or later you’ve got to face the big light
