Only the dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shadows got to fall
Bringing on the night
We're sitting in the dark
Let's not turn on the lights
It feels so good to be
Just the two of us
Anyone else around
Would be superfluous
All of the dark
Is leaving its mark
It's not gonna last
So let's enjoy the night
Until it gets light
It happens so fast
Don't be scared
For only the dark
Can show you the stars
I'll be there
The moment the dark
Reopens your heart
It's time to make a fire
Play some music low
I'm right here next to you
With nowhere else to go
You're all I want
It's all that I need
To be here with you
And so, let's hold on to this
Together, we're safe
Whatever we do
Don't be scared
For only the dark
Can show you the stars
I'll be there
The moment the dark
Reopens your heart
Suddenly, the day is shining
And what was all a dream is what it seems
I don't think you need reminding
We both know what it means to be alive
All of the dark
Is leaving its mark
It's not gonna stay
Always the lights
Will break through the night
And bring on the day
Don't be scared
For only the dark
Can show you the stars
I'll be there
The moment the dark
Reopens your heart
