[Verse 1: Mathilde Santing]

I've been sitting on my hands, for a long time

In the company of hopes and fears

In times when I was not so low, I used to go out

And thinking of the days, you said you were alone

I was still a girl

Your giant boots came treading on my little world

Somehow it all seems brighter now, that we have parted

I guess that it was..

[Hook: Mathilde Santing]

Too much..I'm tired

I'll come back, when it's quiet

Pardon me..there's too much..blinding light

I'll hide until the day is through

[Verse 2: Mathilde Santing]

This town, it ain't much of a thrill

But I can live here, it's true

My company has changed a lot this past year

Now it all slowly floats away

The tide is turning

Turn it should, for it was..

[Hook: Mathilde Santing]

Too much..I'm tired

I'll come back, when it's quiet

Pardon me..there's too much..blinding light

I'll hide until the day is through

[Verse 3: Mathilde Santing]

The easy life, ain't so easily found

And when you're almost up there

Something always pulls you down

I put my ear to the empty shell

The sound is weaker yet..

[Hook/Outro: Mathilde Santing]

Too much..I'm tired

I'll come back, when it's quiet

Pardon me..there's too much..blinding light

I'll hide until the day is through

Somehow it all seems brighter now

(Somehow it all seems brighter now)
