A Voice In The Dark
You can read right through a book of matches But that won't make you smart You can laugh in the face of watches But time will only break your heart
Kings reign beneath umbrellas Hide pennies down in cellars And money pours down and yet Not everyone gets soaking wet
When bores and bullies conspire To stamp out your spark Listen for a voice in the dark
Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon And a wolf began to howl in tune I announced for all mankind a boon Stand aside, you big baboon
Now I'm the a prize invention, you're the image of yourself Forget your cares, you disapproving stares I'm not here to try to jump your borders Just ask your nieces and your daughters
I'm flat as sole, I'm happy as a clam But you don't know the kind of man I am Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal Now my net is overflowing
And suddenly I seem to be all seeing and all knowing I've got something right here you might wanna hear I have no fear, lend a hand or lend an ear If your rent-money is in arrears

When all is said that then redundant They gallivant in peg-leg pants I'll be your servant, you'll be my pal And I'll be faithful, you know I shall
There's no fool like an old fool Who blames it all upon his youth When times are tough and you find you're down Without a star to wish upon Listen for a voice in the dark
I was striking through a box of matches Hoping that one would spark I heard somebody calling to me A voice in the dark
A sound both wild and gentle Daring and confidential I thought there was music playing But it was all and only talk
When liars and bullies conspire To stamp out your spark Fill up that empty space in your heart Listen up as the herald says, 'Hark' Believe in a voice in the dark
