The Lark (Under Shivering Stars)

from Wires EP by Matt Wheeler

/

about

Inspired by Book Three from Les Miserables.

lyrics

Ambling through the shabby streets
Of your little town
Trying to beat your wings against
The ones that hold you down
The ghosts, ghosts
That you think that you see
Startle you from your
Winter reverie
But I hear you
I hear you

Who’s going to fight the good fight for you now?
Under shivering stars
I’ll drag a match to light the dark
I’ll fight the good fight for you now
You can rest here
Won’t you sing for me, my lark?

Seven seasons older
Feels like twenty years
Vestiges of hope
In spite of all the tears
The ghosts, ghosts
Can’t reach you now
Take my hand
I’ll lead you out
I hear you
I hear you

The cold trees for your confessional
You didn’t see me there
Tearing pages from the book of pain you’ve known
The cold trees for your confessional
You didn’t see me there
Burning pages from the book of pain you’ve known

Under shivering stars
I’ll drag a match to light the dark
Under shivering stars
