B.Knox - Second Spark Lyrics

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
