The Dark

Give me the time to tell you all the things I want to say

Give me the time to spell you and to take you far away

After the moon has risen and the blue is fading fast

And the sky is so dark and the day is so long past

In the moment, when the evening ends

And all the secrets are floating round our heads

When the sunlight fades and all is coated in grey

There I'll say

That your smile is like a bolt of lightning

That has struck my heart in way no one can replace

You are the thunderstorm of feelings

Creeping down my spine, keeping me awake

And that your hands are open and sure

That your grip is soft but strong and rough

And tells me you aren't going anywhere soon

You're staying here, where the dark is enough

Give me the time to tell you all the things I want to do

Give me the time to spell you and carry you on through

After the moon has risen and the blue is fading fast

And the sky is so dark and day is so long past

In the moment, after the sun goes down

All our secrets cannot be weighed down

When the stars come out and all is so bright

Then I'll say

That your smile is like a bolt of lightning

That has struck my heart in way no one can replace

You are the thunderstorm of feelings

Creeping down my spine, keeping me awake

And that your hands are open and sure

That your grip is soft but strong and rough

And tells me you aren't going anywhere soon

You're staying here, where the dark is enough

To hide all our secrets and keep them in a jar

Send them down the river, we'll watch from afar

And make hundreds of wishes on a wishing star

And I'll take the time to say

Your smile is lightning, your heart is an open sea

Your hands are strong enough, to comfort me

No matter where we go or who we will become

Tonight in the dark, being with you is like

Being home
