This was the first song I heard from this album, and it's the first one I fell in love with...........so, here goes, my 2 cents worth.....

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

As the time has passed, they are both at peace with each other now, and all the anger (I think of the bright light as anger) has gone away.

They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

They would rather cast away the anger and be friends now, even though everyone knows about their relationship, how it ended, how they both used to feel, etc. And even though they're haunted by the memories & everybody bringing up the past, they choose to move on, try to forget about it, and have a great relationship now.

And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

They will now forever, no matter what day, no matter how many days go by, be seperated. They will not be together again, the "Us" relationship is no more. But she wonders and is worried that they'll never move past the anger and hate, to be friends or have any kind of relationship ever again.

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

Maybe she thinks about it at night, in bed.......about how, now that he's gone, she feels so much pain and is in doubt she will ever want to love like that again.

We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain

They are very different people now......have grown apart.......their "roles" are not the same as they used to be. One day, he'll get over not being in love and not being with her anymore........but he wouldn't get over the strain on them both emotionally if they tried to continue their relationship.

Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone

Ok, I love this part. One reason--She uses that whole "Dreams" thing again. And you know how when we all get depressed and angry about something, we kind of try to take it out on others but also on ourselves as well. I believe she starts to think something like "well this totally sucks, I had dreams and visions of writing my songs and performing and making it big, and I wanted to do that with you. But now, if I could turn back time, and had it to do over, I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, I DON'T WANT TO BECOME THIS BIG STAR, AND WRITE & SING, AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE LOVED YOU OR BEEN IN THIS DREAM WITH YOU!!"......But then she says "wait a minute, that's not right, I don't want to give up what I really want to do with my life, it means too much. And if I want to continue this dream, then I do want to give you up & give up on our relationship, and just be by myself."

You will never love again
The way you loved me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing

Ok, she's pretty to the point with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!!!! Great song, thanks for letting me try an interp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
