Second Spark

The mascots for the dying They all keep a weathered eye On the horizon or the bar stools Where their loved ones sit and cry You can hear it in their voices You can read it on every face As they disappear into the air Leaving just the faintest trace Lamps lit towards the darkness Ears straining for a sound While dirty leaves from fallen trees They whisper across the ground You can hear it in the wind You can taste it on the breeze You can feel it way down in your bones When the heart and true love freeze There ain't no use praying for forgiveness Or holding out for a little less rain Everything that we’ve done before Ah, we would most likely do again Now you come to me, my darling Asking why this love has died Knowing full well the living hell That's been endured on both sides But the answer it ain’t clear, my love It's like a smile in the dark You must tend the fire in your heart ‘Cause you won’t get a second spark There ain't no use praying for forgiveness Or holding out for a little less rain Everything that we’ve done before Ah, we would most likely do again Ah, we would surely do again
