In the Dark

In the dark there's a spark

Little kid, amethyst

Steel to stone, see it glow

Did you know that it flows

From deep beneath the surface?

Damselfly, flying along beside me

Teach me how to go as slow as the grasses grow here

White-faced heron, teach me to glide

Help me to soothe the crease that sits between my eyes

In the dark there's a spark

Little kid, amethyst

Steel to stone, see it glow

Did you know that it flows

From deep beneath the surface?

Sister silence, won't you lend me your patience

Swallow up the quarry of my rampant mind

And cool cavern teach me how to love the darkness

Show me the secrets that lie beyond my sight

In the dark there's a spark

Little kid, amethyst

Steel to stone, see it glow

Did you know that it flows

From deep beneath the surface?

Silence deafening in my ears

Shows me my frailties and my fears

Holds out a hand to go dance in the eve

Swallows my delicate laughter and tears

In the dark there's a spark

Little kid, amethyst

Steel to stone, see it glow

Did you know that it flows

From deep beneath the surface?
