BRIGHT WHITE 
Shawn Phillips - September 1973


Now I told you a long time ago 
that I'd hold you 
never let you go behind me 
anywhere I might flow 
And I know you believe in me 
And I hope you are seeing my dream 
A whole lot of people in this world 
Just running around 

And it's a long way in the face of fear 
and there's a lot of men left without any tears 
anymore 
and money is the name in the game of fame 
but the music don't come out quite the same 
anymore 

It's all about a bright white light 
shining through your mind and guiding your way 
Mama put your arms around me 
fill me with your joy and rock me all night 

I told you a long time ago 
that I'd hold you 
never let you go behind me 
anywhere I might flow 
And I'll hold you in winter and spring 
and behold you in everything I sing 
Being in your arms is just like coming home 

And it's a long way in the face of fear 
and there's a lot of men left without any tears 
anymore 
and money is the name in the game of fame 
but the music don't come out quite the same 
anymore 

It's all about a bright white light 
shining through your mind and guiding your way 
Mama put your arms around me 
fill me with your joy and rock me all night
