lyrics

The Dark Days Are Over

Deep pools and diamonds, the warmth of a fire
I feel I’m falling but I follow the wire
To something familiar like the voice of a child
The shape of your mouth, the ghost of a smile
Dark is the window but I see inside
Deep is the mirror that sparkles and shines
And all of the jewels, you thought you could hide

Now the dark days are over
Darling believe me they're over
Leave them behind
We've wandered so long in the shadows of night
Believe me, the dark days are gone

She said ‘Show me you steel, your armour your knife
Show me your will to protect and survive
When nothing is certain, except in the mind
Show me you have what it takes for this life’

I said I will have faith, and I will be true
Catching at pearls as they fall with the dew
And all that I have I offer to you

The dark days are over
Darling believe me they're over
Leave them behind
We've wandered so long in the valleys of night
Believe me, the dark days are gone
