The Light That Never Goes Out

 

There is a light that never goes out,

the song goes, and I know it's true.

Back when I was young and skinny,

in an emotional coma, full of panic

and shyness, a thorn in my every rose,

still I had dreams that never gave up.

I had hope that never quit.

All the songs and books had told me

a great love would be mine.

I waited a long time

for that big black wolf to find me.

for Shay's Word List The Light That Never Goes Out is a reference to a song by The Smiths.
