Mary Black - Sparks Might Fly lyrics

I cannot stop this child from touching me

I see not fault in watching her bloom

She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly

Yet I feel she may be consumed.

She done turns on the B stage

She shook hands when the shoe fit

I wanna know how the land lies

I'll let you in on a secret.

I did not steal away when love rode by

I did not let myself be unkind

It's so heard to say where love meets lust

I often think I'm losing my mind.

I trade notes with the press league

They send back their suggestions

I wanna know where I come from

But all I get are directions.

Chorus

I can't get started, can't get pain

What's wrong?

Big ideas, the find intentions

They're all gone

It takes two flagons of courage

Pounds, shillings and pence

You wind up going nowhere

It doesn't make sense.

I see my brother's face grow dark with care

I spend my time avoiding his gaze

I pray that God might make his dreams come true

I'd give so much to feel he's been saved.

A bright spark in the playground

Dead loss as an anchor

You don't call him a misfit

He's just stuck for an answer.

Chorus (2)
