She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

She sings a dark destructive song.

Not just Darkness but the silent kind
that steals your soul and kills your mind

And reach out for her healing hands,
Reach out for her healing hands.
There's a light, where the darkness ends.
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands.

You could hold her tight
With all your might,
But she'd slip through your arms like the wind.
And be back in flight,
Back into the night,
Where you might never see her again.

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame
...And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight",
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"

I know she ain't you, but she's here, and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul.

Don't forget: hold somebody's hand through the dark.

She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again.

Somebody curse the light
And take me far away from myself

You'd like to meet her, take her home,
fill her up with your testosterone
but you won't get a chance to score
There's a reason she wears her shades indoors
(Why?) If you look closely
there's something not right with her jaw
She's chewin' her face like a carnivore with a piece of meat,
and furthermore
remove her glasses from her face:
this female's lost in space
Lost her sight, her eyes ain't right,
eyeballs painted black not white

"When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. "It's all right" we whisper, "I'm here, I love you." and we lie: "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad."

in that drunken place
you would
like to hand your heart to her
and say
touch it
but then
give it back.
