I took a sliver
From the side of my heart
And set it to sinking where the rivers do part
Outside my window
It's Dark as my heart
I've got the candle
But you've got the spark
Tell me Child
How can it be
I'm in the ocean
And you're in the sea
Somethings wrong but no one can see
All of the children have fallen asleep
You told me your tale
Then you ran away
I had no time to speak
I've been trying to search my memory
For those things
You accuse me of
Tell me Child
How can it be
I'm in the ocean
And you're in the sea
Somethings wrong and everyone can see
All of the children have fallen asleep
I travelled the seas
I travelled the land
I thought I heard words from the palm of your hand
When you left
You broke all my hearts
I couldn't sleep
I was scared of the dark
Tell me Child
How can it be
Im in the ocean
And you're in the sea
Outside my window
It's black as my heart I've got the candle
But you've got the spark
