The Dark Lyrics

In the dark you can sometimes hear your own heart beat

Or the heart of the one next to you

The house settles down after holding itself up all day

Shoulders slump and it gives a big sigh

And you hear no one's foot fall in the hall

The drip in the kitchen sink marking time

June bug on the window screen

He can't get in but he keeps trying

One way or another we're all in the dark

Fireflies, sparks, lightning, stars

Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars

The northern lights, the Milky Way

You can't see that stuff in the day

When the earth turns it's back on the sun

The stars all 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

And 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

It's so dark the sky's on fire

How dark is it

It's so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
