Nightblindness
David Gray Lyrics
A million to one outsiders
Night blindness
Can't see
Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty-five past eternity
Here listening
To the silence
Now further away
What we gonna do
When the money runs out?
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?
I'm sick of all the same romances
Lost chances
Cold stone
Propping mountains up
On matchsticks
Dragging baskets
Full of bones
Honey please don't stop
Your talking
'Cause there's a feeling
Won't leave me alone
What we gonna do
When the money runs out?
I wish that there was something I could say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?
What we gonna do
When the money runs out?
I wish that there was something left to say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?
The bright of day
The bright of day

1) David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.
Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.
On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life in Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.
Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius De Vries.
David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".
His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

A million to one outsiders
Night blindness can't see
Your bright eyes are what
The time is twenty five past eternity
Here listenin' to the sorrow
Comin' closer now further awayWhat we gonna do?
When the money runs out
I wish that there was somethin' left to say
Where we goin' to find the eyes to see
A brighter day?
I'm sick of all the same romances
Lost chances, cold storms
Proppin' mountains up on matchsticks
Draggin' baskets full of bones
Honey, please don't stop your talkin'
'Cause there's a feeling, won't leave me aloneWhat we gonna do?
When the money runs out
I wish that there was somethin' I could say
How we goin' to find the eyes to see
A brighter day?
What we gonna do?
When the money runs out
I wish that there was somethin' left to say
How we goin' to find the eyes to see
A brighter day?

I can't listen to this song without tears coming to my eyes. It's weird because It didn't make me cry when I first heard it but it does now. such a beautiful song though.
Stoker IBL
This song will break you down but the structure of the album it lifts you back up, if you listen to the album as one piece youβll see what I mean. who ever sequenced the tracks did a first class job
John Williams
That's pretty profound, Brody.
And I'm totally with you, fella. πͺπ
Mark Bridges
Twenty years and the songs are still the best type of music I know can still make you feel like they did twenty years ago and his words are so real and true
Mrs B
