See the Lights
"See the Lights" is the second single released from Scottish rock band Simple Minds' 10th studio album, Real Life. Written by band members Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr, the song is about missing someone and a depression that accompanies it, longing to bring back the love that is dying. Released on 13 May 1991, the song was a top 40 hit in six countries. It reached number 20 in the UK, number 10 in Canada, and number 40 in the United States. It also went to number one on the US Billboard Modern Rock chart and number 10 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. It was Simple Minds' fifth song to reach the top 40 in the US, and was the last to do so.

Summer`s gone winter`s in your eyes
I can feel the thunder storms inside
I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me
All I`ve got`s a ghost of what could be
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you`ll be
I`m in a broken dream I stare out into space
You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place
I`ve got a heart of stone and it`s sinking deep inside
I want to tell you love I`m too proud to cry
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you`ll be
Summer`s gone and I can`t tell you lies
Oh forgive me love I`m too proud to cry
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you`ll be
Summer`s gone and I can`t tell you lies
Forgive me love I`m too proud to cry
Too proud to cry
Too proud to cry
