In the dark you can sometimes hear your own heartbeat
Or the heart of the one next to you
And the house settles down after holding itself up all day
Shoulders slump, gives a big sigh
You hear no one?s foot fall in the hall
That drip in the kitchen sink keeps marking time
June bug on the window screen can't get in, but keeps on trying
One way or another we're all in the dark
Fireflies and sparks and lightning and stars
Campfires, the moon, headlights on cars
The Northern lights, the Milky Way
You can't see that stuff in the day
The Earth turns its back on the sun
And the stars come out and the planets start to run, around
They call that 'day is done
But really it's just getting started
Some folks take comfort in that
How dark is it? It's too dark for goblins
How dark is it? It's so dark you can smell the moon
How dark is it? It's so dark the wind gets lost
How dark is it? So dark the sky's on fire
How dark is it? It?s so dark you can see Fort Worth from here
