Trap the Spark - Marillion

The love that pounds your heart through your chest every night

Until the bed jumps beneath you and scares you white

Trap the spark and hold it there

You can’t.

You can’t

Goose-bumps that don’t fade away

They can’t remain

I’ve opened the box and I’ve touched the treasures of the earth

They’re buried on the island far away

And I’m here in England with the map burning my pocket

Dreaming of diamonds.

Such a blinding secret to bear

Trap the spark and hold it there

You can’t.

You can’t

Goose-bumps that don’t fade away

They can’t remain

Hold the perfect moment

Pin the cloud to the sky

Grab the spark and hold it

You can TRY.

I’ve looked into a million laughing unhappinesses

In every bar and on the TV

But I know the real thing

I can remember

I can almost tell you how it is

Trap the spark and hold it there

You can’t.

You can’t

Goosebumps that don’t fade away

They can’t remain

Photograph a feeling

Pin the cloud to the sky

Trap the spark and hold it

You can try

Trap the spark and hold it there

Grab the spark and hold it there
