I Wish the Darkness Would Fall

from Work in Progress by Pete Brazier

lyrics

I wish the Darkness would fall

I wish the night would come in its comforting shroud
So I could fall in love with myself in your arms
You say that this is not real but there’s truth in the lies
And you don’t know the half of me you foolish girl
I am afraid of you I am lost in you
And every word that’s lost on you flows from the heart
Do I not show the darkness that drives this machine
That I should fall in love with myself in your arms

I wish the darkness would fall
The road tumbling over us all
In the rumble of the engine’s song
In anyone sure what they see?
A huddle of travellers side by side
We speak with touch but few words confide
We are gently lost on a sleepy crowd
So let this moment wash over me

You are my secret tonight
My angel of sodium light
In defiance of all that I know
And all that I thought I would be
Which face is the true one I dare not say
But speak no words that bring back the day
You are quiet now and the lies don’t sound
So let this moment forever be

So what’s the fire that burns in the safety cage now
That steals your laughter and tells on your dishonest month
I know you’re scared to trust and you have to take charge
But the tighter you’re holding the more that you’re losing control
And you are full of colours so beautiful still
So trust won’t turn your smouldering spirit to grey
Why don’t you let the world come in and take a look round
So they can fall in love with themselves in your arms
