Sparrows on a line
Strung across the sky
Full of summer wine
You try to catch their eyes
And when the sun falls off its wire and it shatters on the lawn
Even in the darkness there’s a song
Break your silver dream
Pull its stuffing out
Baby make a scene
The patrons shuffle out
And when the hope that bore you sweetly through the wilderness is gone
Even in the darkness there’s a song
Night is falling fast
Unfurling stars above
None of this can last
The things we've come to love
And when the last electric lightbulb in the universe is blown
And when the last electric lightbulb in the universe is gone
Even in the darkness there’s a song
