[Intro - a wordless high female voice sings the hook alone from the very first bar] [Hook - her voice, once, long notes] I was light, he was sound Long before the names were found [Verse 1 - close, unhurried, long notes] Out beyond the blue Light goes straight on through Every star I passed Silent, bright and vast Light can cross the dark But never leave a mark [Pre - rising] Then I found a world Where the thunder curled [Chorus - melody up high, long held notes, glorious] I was light, he was sound Long before the names were found I could reach them all He could shake a wall Never in one place Never face to face [Verse 2 - close, long notes, hungry] Then a boom so wide Shook the countryside Heavy, broad and proud Louder than a crowd Something in me stirred Light without a word [Pre - rising] Here is how it ran Light, and one big man [Chorus - melody up high, her echo answering] I was light, he was sound (echo) He was sound Long before the names were found I was far and fast He was built to last Never in one place Never face to face [Break - the wordless voice and her, close] Nobody was named Nothing yet was claimed Only light and roar Rolling to the shore [Final Chorus - beat back, key up, long held notes] I was light, he was sound (he was sound) Long before the names were found (were found) When he breaks the air I am always there Never in one place Never face to face [Tag - spoken, soft] Light comes first. The sound comes after. [Instrumental - the wordless voice over the full groove, building] [Final hit] [End]
