In The Dark

His car sits where he parked it

No more clicks on the clock

Clean and neat as he kept it

Now he's gone gone gone

I sit in the driver's seat

Peer out over the wheel

Like a kid playing race cars on my own

In the darkness

In the dark

In the darkness I can feel my heart

A car smells like its owner

An old car seems almost alive

Can he hear me think this

He taught me to drive

He was always so patient

I stalled and I stalled it again

Now I try turning it over

Not even a spark

In the darkness

In the dark

In the darkness I can feel your heart

Now we stand in the garden

We talk and we toast you and laugh

Your car sits cold in the garage

In the dark

In the darkness I can feel our heart

We are we are we are the wind

That bends our knees

Our old dreams old dreams

We are we are we are here learning

How these steps how these steps

Suddenly lead into the light
