Lyrics with meaning

[Sundae]

And a little beauty from Neil Finn

Faster Than Light

Close your eyes go to sleep
Close your eyes get so dizzy
World is spinning in your bed

I know where the sun goes
It's waking up the sparrows
In England it's morning

In time you'll see that some things
travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise
that love is larger than life

Now you know what you're missing
Now you've seen that I'm willing
If you're looking for the message
Close your eyes

Do you hear what I'm thinking?
Is it how you imagined?

In time you'll see that some things
travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise
that love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things
that haven't happened yet

Close your eyes
Colours changing like a lizard
Close your eyes

I know where the sun goes
I have seen the world turning
In time you'll find that some things
travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise that love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
leaves you without debt
and bends the shape of things to come
that haven't happened yet

(the way it is sung brings a lump to my throat, but I think the lyrics bear scrutiny alone)
