Spark in the Dark

Verse 1 – male

The fuse goes pop at half past eight

The tree goes black, the turkey's late

Verse 1 – female

I find a match behind the bread

And one old candle, cherry red

Verse 1 – male

The whole street's out, the radio's dead

Verse 1 – female

So hum me something, pull me close instead

Pre-Chorus – both

Who says we need the lights to shine?

Who says the night has to run on time?

Nobody, nobody, it's just you and me

And one small flame where the lights should be

Chorus – both

Spark in the dark

One little flame and we're off to a start

Snow on the sill and a song we both know

Spark in the dark

Verse 2 – female

The fridge goes quiet like it's listening in

You spin me past the recycling bin

Verse 2 – male

You're in my sweater, inside out

Next door's kids sing carols, half the words left out

Pre-Chorus – both

Who says we need the lights to shine?

Who says the night has to run on time?

Nobody, nobody, it's just you and me

And one small flame where the lights should be

Chorus – both

Spark in the dark

One little flame and we're off to a start

Snow on the sill and a song we both know

Spark in the dark

Bridge – male

The lights come back at a quarter to three

Every bulb on the tree blinks back at me

Bridge – female

But I keep looking where I looked tonight

At your face gone gold like a match struck bright

Final Chorus – both

Spark in the dark

One little flame and we're off to a start

Snow on the sill and a song we both know

Spark in the dark

Outro – both

Spark in the dark

Spark in the dark
