In The Dark - Kate Miller-Heidke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Northey

His car sits where he parked it

No more clicks on the clock

Clean and neat as he kept it

Now he’s gone, gone, gone

And I sit in the driver’s seat

Peer out over the wheel

Like a kid playing race cars

On my own

In the darkness, in the dark

In the darkness I can feel my heart

A car smells like its owner

An old car seems almost alive

Can he hear me think this?

He taught me to drive

He was always so patient

I stalled and I stalled it again

Now I try turning it over

Not even a spark

In the darkness

In the dark

In the darkness

I can feel your heart

Now we stand in the garden

We talk, and we toast you and laugh

Your car sits cold in the garage

In the dark

In the darkness

I can feel our heart

Oh, we are, we are the wind

That bends the knees of all, all the trees

Oh dreams, we are, we are here, here

Heavy steps, heavy steps suddenly we lead

Into the light
