A Single Spark
These days of wild uncertain times
I ask the empty skies
Who will keep things rolling?
Who to sing Hosannas to?
The temple calls
But I can't see what use
My prayers will be
And will this world keep rolling
With only good intentions?
Still, it fills the eye
This line of stone
Incense, icons coming on strong
Here comes splendour, hallowed air
And is it wonder or
Despair bends my knee
The day's dying flame
Motes in its beam glitter and blaze
Say, isn't it true that it's
All through in a single spark
Between two eternities?
I'll watch the moon
Kick off my shoes
Reach for my old guitar
Fed on milk and honeydew
What things can we undo?
Desire bends my knee
The dying embers flame
Hungry to believe
But, just the same
Isn't it true that it's all through
In a single spark between
Two eternities?
Bittersweet the night's embrace
I'm thankful and afraid
So pray to keep things rolling
I've only good intentions
I ask the empty skies
Who will keep things rolling?
Who to sing Hosannas to?
The temple calls
But I can't see what use
My prayers will be
And will this world keep rolling
With only good intentions?
Still, it fills the eye
This line of stone
Incense, icons coming on strong
Here comes splendour, hallowed air
And is it wonder or
Despair bends my knee
The day's dying flame
Motes in its beam glitter and blaze
Say, isn't it true that it's
All through in a single spark
Between two eternities?
I'll watch the moon
Kick off my shoes
Reach for my old guitar
Fed on milk and honeydew
What things can we undo?
Desire bends my knee
The dying embers flame
Hungry to believe
But, just the same
Isn't it true that it's all through
In a single spark between
Two eternities?
Bittersweet the night's embrace
I'm thankful and afraid
So pray to keep things rolling
I've only good intentions
