The Dark

Intro: (4x) In the dark you can sometimes hear your own heartbeat Or the heart of the one next to you And the house settles down after holding itself up all day Shoulders slump, gives a big sigh You hear no one’s foot fall in the hall That drip in the kitchen sink keeps marking time June bug on the window screen can't get in, but keeps on trying One way or another we're all in the dark Fireflies and sparks and lightning and stars Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars The Northern lights, the Milky Way You can't see that stuff in the day (4x) The Earth turns its back on the sun And the stars come out and the planets start to run, around They call that 'day is done But really it's just getting started Some folks take comfort in that How dark is it? It's too dark for goblins How dark is it? It's so dark you can smell the moon How dark is it? It's so dark the wind gets lost How dark is it? So dark the sky's on fire (hold) How dark is it? It’s so dark you can see Fort Worth from here ()
