Singing In the Dark - Karen Matheson

All your burned bum notes

Thistle in your throat

You’ve gone the distance

You hear them laugh

Skip along the path of least resistance

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

While no one listens

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

You need a witness

To your song

The crow on your shoulder

Looks down over the dead umbrellas

A smile on his face

‘There but for the grace of God go I'

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

While no one listens

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

You need a witness

To your song

All your still born songs

Never sung along

Kept in cages

Sing them all to me

Play your masterpiece

Blank pages

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

While no one listens

Won’t break nobody’s heart

Singing in the dark

You need a witness

To your song
