Blinding Summer Light - Tom Milsom

(Did some one say…lyrics?)

Ah ah ah ah-I
wanna go outside
and write your name in sunshine on the backs of both my eyes
I hope you’re not surprised

when I use my scarred retinas to stare your scrawled and cursive name onto the dusty surfaces
of things I used to love be-fo-ore you
It’s hard but what can I do?

and then I count the days before allowing both my retinas to heal
so I can see your face
in perfect clarity
Oh, I can see
your face in front of me!


and then behind my eyelids I’m with you
imagining the things we’re gonna do!

in phosphorus and* brown and black and blue
in fine and blinding summer light, with you


Ah ah ah ah-I
didn’t even want to know your name
until the sunlight sparkled in your eyes
it took me by surprise

and suddenly the paradigm of thinking I was fine
was shifted into realising that
I needed you all of the time
I needed you all of the time

and when I close my eyelids I’m with you
imagining the things we’re gonna do!

in phosphorus and* brown and black and bl-oo-oo-ue
in fine and blinding summer light, with you


ah-oo

ah-oo oo oo oo oo oo

oo oo

when I’m behind my eyelids
I’m with you_(yea…)

imaginging the things we’re gonna do!
in phosphorus and* brown and black and blue-oo-oo-ue

in fine and blinding summer light with you.

*possibly phosphorescent
