The Spark

Sit at the foot of my bed
 She said like a ghost
 Watch a boat
 In a cove
 Lose hope, who knows?
 Here there's a shadow
 A girl in the shade
 Wants to find someone
 So what, who knows?
 In our past
 We were such a mess
 We did our best only
 Time will tell
 It's our past
 It's a wreck
 We do our best and
 The spark will glow
 Sit at the foot of my bed
 She said like a ghost
 Watch a boat
 In a cove
 Lose hope, who knows?
 As summer fades
 Waves carry
 Your soft knowing gaze
 Marigolds in a row
 So what, who knows?
 In our past
 We were such a mess
 We did our best only
 Time will tell
 It's our past
 It's a wreck
 We do our best and
 The spark will glow
 Letting go, the lines we tow
 Surrender what we think we know
 Letting go, the lines we tow
 Tending to the spark up close
 Letting go, the lines we tow
 Patience pulls the spark up close
