Like An Aurora
Written January 1991
Appears on Only My Hairdresser Knows For Sure
Available as an mp3

(This girl) there's a girl I know
  who all around her shows her love
(This girl) and for all the world
  can shine just like the heavens above
(This girl) like a starry night
  she can cut through the darkness with her life
(This girl) and she's burning so bright
  that her love can cut you like a knife
'Cause she doesn't know what she wants
  or needs or loves, believes
But you swear when you look in her eyes
  it seems they burn so deep.

Chorus:
(Her love) is like an aurora
  shining brightly in the night
(Her love) is like an aurora
  it really is a sight to see
(Her love) is like an aurora
  shining brightly in the night
(Her love) is like an aurora
  and I really think it's right for me.

(This girl) yeah she can be wonderful
  when she shines her love light on your day
(This girl) some consider her beautiful
  for her simple beauty finds its way
(This girl) and some find it magical
  to find themselves so whisked away
(This girl) but they can't resist her pull
  like a siren's song I've heard them say

But she doesn't know what she wants
  or needs or loves, believes
All around her men drop like flies
  it seems to survive they need...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Oh, what you want isn't always what you need
Yeah, with all this light, tell me now why I can't see

(Solo)

But she doesn't know what she wants
  or needs or loves, believes
Blinded by the light
  it seems all you can see (honestly)

(Chorus)

...and maybe it's just too bright for me.
