Lyrics
By the light of common day Things look different Than they did in the starlit dark The dark was warm and clouded It was easy to deceive yourself And those around you in the work To say the craziness and pain The spreading of the stain is Exactly where you gain the spark to make it As if being happy isn't quite enough Somehow I needed to make it rough Rough enough to break it To make those long connections And run in wrong directions Till I break it loose I was wrong of course I see now The spark is there all the time now If you know how to listen to your calling The muse is quietly knocking on your door now To say the craziness and pain The spreading of the stain is Exactly where you gain the spark to make it As if being happy isn't quite enough Somehow I needed to make it rough Rough enough to break it Rough enough to break it You have to go faithfully each day And open up your head some way Somehow And what will come in answer Some strong and gentle dancer Will carry a song through your door Some great lifting force of light Will come to balance fearful night And raise its voice and then raise yours Raise its voice and then raise yours
