 The emotion it was  electric,  and the stars they all aligned.
 I knew I had to make my  decision,  but I never made the time.
 No, I never made the time.
 In the dark,  for a while  now, I can't stay,  so far.
 I can't stay,  much longer, riding  my decision  home.
 Exoneration lost his  eraser,  but my forgiver found the sun.
 And there are twisted days that I  take comfort,  'cos I'm not the only one.
 No, I'm not the only one.
 In the dark,  for a while  now, I can't stay,  very far.
 I can't stay,  much longer, riding  my decision  home.
 There is a majesty at  my doorstep,  there is a little boy in  her arms.
 Now we'll parade around with -  out game  plans,  obligations, or alarm.
 In the dark,  for a while  now, I can't stay,  very far.
 I can't stay,  much longer, riding  my decision  home.
 In the dark,  for a while  now, I can't stay,  so far.
 I can't stay,  much longer, riding  my decision  home.
 In the dark.
