You Caught the Light Lyrics

[Verse 1: Martin Doherty]
I hear you when you call
There's a sign for her and everyone
And go on, but not with me
And let it all fall down
Let it all fall down

[Chorus: Martin Doherty]
Sky is light
You caught the light
You carried mine
You caught the light

[Verse 2: Martin Doherty]
They said that you would call
And take it all, it's history
And we'll laugh until the end
Let the rain come down
Let it all come down

[Chorus: Martin Doherty & Lauren Mayberry]
Sky is light
(I have nothing but love for)
You caught the light
(The places that call me home)
You carried mine
(I have nothing but love for)
You caught the light
(The places that call me home)
[Chorus: Martin Doherty & Lauren Mayberry]
Sky is light
(I have nothing but love for)
You caught the light
(The places that call me home)
You carried mine
(I have nothing but love for)
You caught the light
(The places that call me home)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The final track off of The Bones of What You Believe is an electric slow dance song, with a cracking synth and a dreamy guitar paving the way for Martin Doherty’s second lead vocals on the album.

The song is rather ambiguous but it has a reminiscing edge to it as it closes off the album.

The song’s tempo is a moderately slow 105 BPM.
