VOICE IN THE DARK

You can read right through a book of matches
But that wonât 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
No everyone gets soaking wet
When bores and bullies conspire
To stamp out your spark
Listen forâ¦
A Voice In The Dark
Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon
And a wolf begins to howl in tune
I announced for all mankind a boon
Stand aside you big baboon
Now Iâm the a prize invention
Youâre the image of yourself
Forget your cares
And disapproving stares
Iâm not here to try to jump your borders
Just ask your nieces and daughters
Iâm flat as sole, Iâm happy as a clam
[ ]
But they donât know the kind of man I am (alt for this line only)
Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal
Now my net is overflowing
And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing
Iâve got something right there
That you might want to hear
But have no fear
Lend a hand
Lend an ear
If your rent-money is in arrears
Weâll be striking up a symphony bandstand
Long of hair and loose of tooth
Thereâll be pirouettes and startling handstands
And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth
When is said that then redundant
They gallivant in peg-leg pants
Iâll be your servant
Youâll be my pal
Iâll be ever faithful you know I shall
Thereâs no fool like an old fool
Who blames it all upon his youth
When times are tough and you find youâre down
Without a star to wish upon
Just 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, when the herald says, âHarkâ
Believe in just a voice in the darkâ¦
