When the Booth Goes Bright [UK Version] lyrics

NINO:

What do you see when the booth goes bright?

In the blinding light

When the flash tries to find youP

Every photo of every face

Is a time and place that you leave behind

There's the girl you were

There's your trip abroad

There's your father's smile

There's the face of God

There is everything that you were

And still want to be

What do you see

When the booth goes bright?

There's the girl from the factory

And she's on your knee

Though you've known her a week

And you're both so shy

But she makes you laugh

In that photograph

Where she kisses your cheek

There's when she said: "Yes"

There's the next ten years

There's the loneliness

When she disappears

There's the face that you still remember

Though no longer know

Where do you go?

What happens when the booth goes bright?

Where do you go when you're out of view?

What's the use in trying to hide?

Or tearing yourself in two?

When you leave yourself behind

Every piece becomes another

NINO & ENSEMBLE:

Clue

NINO:

Pull the curtain tight

And adjust the seat

Lean into the light

Don't forget to breathe

And if someday your travels

Should bring you to me I'll see what you see

NINO:

When the booth goes

ENSEMBLE:

Bright

NINO:

When the booth goes

ENSEMBLE:

Bright

NINO:

When the booth goes

ENSEMBLE:

Bright

NINO:

When the booth goes bright

ENSEMBLE:

Bright

NINO:

When the booth goes bright
