the flint, the steel, and then the spark
IV V I IV
A sudden flame, a work of art
vi iii IV V
Two glowing embers in the dark
And all of the tinder turns to flame
The thing we know but cannot name
I know that I have met my mark
Two glowing embers in the dark
And all of the tinder turns to flame
The thing we know but cannot name
I know that I have met my mark
Two glowing embers in the dark
The fire grows to soften steel
A warm and inviting heat to feel
But I can not grab this glowing gold
And so I sit and rake the coals
But oh if I could only hold
The fire now to ease the cold
To tame the bite of winter's bark
Two glowing embers in the dark
On a quiet winter's night
My guitar lit by firelight
Ashen logs all burning bright
An open door, a welcome sight
Well furnace heat is well and good
But I burn a hard and a seasoned wood
Because there's nothing quite so sweet
As warming your toes when your swept off your feet
By two glowing embers in the dark
We're two glowing embers in the dark
