Lyrics

EMBRACE THE DARK

oh forget the word 'forever'
or tying up a knot
it's no doubt much more clever
enjoying what we've got what we have got

well we've got a magic sparkle
and the music of the lark
so honey don't be startled
when I sing embrace the dark embrace the dark

embrace the dark
though it's always darkening
too brief the spark
love may bravely bring
yet love's the only ark
against the flood
so we must sing
though death's such a shark
and No One Knows the king
death's a sure shark
the only certain thing

then let's talk about the weather
and not whether or not
we've got some long term future
but bless what we've now got what we've now got

although I'm far from saying
we're a mere stroll in the park
I'm walking on while praying
we may embrace the dark embrace the dark

love is the ark the only ark
embrace the dark

yes life toughens us like leather
so we often lose the plot
and think everything's better
than what we now have got what we now have got

but there's no need for crying
when we might miss the mark
we learn and keep on trying
to now embrace the dark embrace the dark

Embrace The Dark... then fade after
yet love's the only ark
