Lyrics A Certain Light - Josh Ritter

A Certain Light

My new lover, sweet and kind
The kind of lover that one rarely finds
And I’m happy for the first time, in a long time
Came along and opened up the door
And though I know I’ve been in love before
Oh I feel it, so much more, than the last time
And she only looks like you
In a certain kind of light
When she holds her head just right
Its been winter, for a while
The north winds wail cut like a baby child
It was hard to think or smile
That brings springtime
But it did and now it is
The green green grass
Is come up green and its
Feeling just the way it did
The very first time
And she only looks like you
In a certain kind of light
When she holds her head just right
And anymore, it’d stretch the rhyme
So let me leave this where I started, I’m
Just happy for the first time
In a long time
In a long time
