Testo In The Dark

His car sits where he parked it
No more clicks on the clock
Clean and neat as he kept it
Now he's gone, gone, gone

I sit in the driver's seat
Peer out over the wheel
Like a kid playing race cars on my own

In the darkness
In the dark
In the darkness I can feel my heart

A car smells like its owner
An old car seems almost alive
Can he hear me think this?
He taught me to drive

He was always so patient
I stalled, and I stalled it again
Now I try turning it over
Not even a spark
In the darkness
In the dark
In the darkness I can feel your heart

Now we stand in the garden
We talk, and we toast you and laugh
Your car sits cold in the garage
In the dark

In the darkness I can feel our heart

We are, we are, we are the wind
That bends our knees
Our old dreams, old dreams
We are, we are, we are here, learning
How these steps, how these steps
Suddenly lead into the light
