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 the knees of old trees Old dreams We are, we are We are here, we're healing Oh, heavy steps, heavy steps Suddenly lead into the light
