The Big Light

EWell I had a little feeling to have a big night
And Bwoke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right
I had to Eface the who am I and where is she what did I do
But worst of Aall I had to Bface the big Elight
Chorus
EThe big light came through my window and it Aopened up my eyelids
And it Bsnapped them up like roller blinds and Etold me things that I did
I can't Eface another day and night of Agood ideas and complications
And I'm Bthankful I didn't open another bottle of inspiration
Nifty James Burton lick at end of chorus

When the hangover this morning had a personality
And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
I didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never see
The Haggard face that would be staring back at me
Chorus
Well I had a little feeling to have a big time
And I woke to alarm bells like a big church chime
I had to face the who am I and who is she what did I do
But worst of all I had to face the big light
Chorus
Well it's Efine to go out and Ahave a big night
But sooner or Blater you've got to face the big Elight
