Sword of Light - Horslips

Use both your hands to hold me

Tight!

Tighter than you should

My heart is cold as steel

But my body’s flesh and blood

Walking hand in hand with silver

Close as gold to kiss

Only lovers left alive

And they’re swallowed in the mist

I’m your Sword of Light

Won’t you be mine tonight

I’m your Sword of Light tonight

Going to scorch you deep inside

Make you glad to be alive

Because I’m your Sword of Light

Wrap tight your cloak around me

And I’ll whisper close my dreams

My home is such a long way

And I’m older than I seem

I’ve come a long way with the good news;

I know you need my help

But don’t ask me to be your guide

I’m a stranger here myself

I’m your Sword of Light

Won’t you be mine tonight

I’m your Sword of Light tonight

Going to scorch you deep inside

Make you glad to be alive

Because I’m your Sword of Light

Use both your hands to hold me

Tight!

and tighter should

My heart is cold as steel

But my body’s flesh and blood

Walking hand in hand with silver

Close as gold to kiss

Only lovers left alive

And they’re swallowed in the mist

I’m your Sword of Light

Won’t you be mine tonight

I’m your Sword of Light tonight

Going to scorch you deep inside

Make you glad to be alive

Because I’m your Sword of Light
