What is it you need from me?
It doesn’t matter how hard you look
I disappear

.

I can be the vessel to shield you from decay
Take from me what you need
To get you through your day

Though your thick-thumbed fumbles
May bruise and sting and scar
I would be as fragile no matter who you are

What is it you need from me?
It doesn’t matter how hard you look
I disappear

Though you try to crush me I still have my name
And though you cannot harm me you’re failing all the same
And I can’t help you now
Can’t help you now….

It doesn’t matter how hard you look
I disappear

You are tinder now
And I am the spark
You are tender now
And I am the Knife In The Dark

You are precious now
And I am alive
You are fragile now
And I am the Knife In The Dark

You are living in my world now
You are mine to contol
Living is easy without hope
Living is easy without you

I am the Knife In The Dark
I am the Knife In The Dark

.

I don’t know why I feel so tired
Maybe this modern life has worn me down
Maybe you’ve changed, and maybe it’s me
Maybe this modern life has helped us drown

I can’t understand the way to you
I can’t understand the way to get through
The walls you’ve made and the walls I’ve made
Maybe this modern life has torn us apart

Maybe you’re to blame and maybe it’s me
Maybe this modern love can’t grow without our art

I can’t understand the way to you
I can’t understand the way to get through

Spare me and succor me from portents
Clear and perfect pure perspective
Rightly or wrongly perceived pretense
Fear of giving all I can give to you

I can’t understand the way to you
I can’t understand the way to get through to you

Time flows by
So slow
But always flows
On and on

Flowing away
Through the Years
All those Years fade now
Memories fade through the Years
All those wasted Years
Silent and moonlit and sorrowful Years

.

When I was young and scared of the dark I told myself:
Hold on!
The past may be dark but the future is brighter
Just hold on, hold your head high through the Years

All those wasted years
Silent and moonlit and sorrowful years
All the Years
All those wasted years
Silent and moonlit and sorrowful years

.

Now something stirs in me
(It’s coming!)                                                                                                              (It’s coming!)
Right out of the darkness
(It’s coming!)                                                                                                              (It’s coming!)

Rising newborn from my slumber
(Hold on!)                                                                                                                        (Hold on!)
The wonder is how I stayed
(Hold on!)                                                                                                                        (Hold on!)
Silent and hidden for all of those Years

All those wasted Years
Silent and moonlit and sorrowful Years
All the Years
All those wasted Years
Silent and moonlit and sorrowful Years
