A Gleam in the Dark Tunnel

Half past eleven on the subway,

through the city’s roar

Headphones hide my heartbeat,

tuck my tiredness out of sight

Platform wind sweeps my coat,

street lamps swaying low In this giant town,

I can’t even let my sorrow show

Slow down my footsteps,

worries spin around

Night devours the noise,

only breathing’s gentle sound

In the dark tunnel hides a tiny ray Sees me through the

haze, keeps my fears at bay Though the road is long,

though the world is cold This little glow knows the strength I

hold In the dark tunnel you’re the same as me Carrying gentle

hope

through each long night patiently No need to pretend,

no need to be strong At least this song remembers me tonight,

and you along Phone screen’s tiny glow lights the empty car

Scenes rushing backwards press the weight down from afar

Streets where crowds have faded,

evening breeze walks slow

Turns out on lonely roads,

there’s always someone else I know

Slow down my footsteps,

worries spin around

Night devours the noise,

only breathing’s gentle sound

In the dark tunnel hides a tiny ray Sees me through the

haze, keeps my fears at bay Though the road is long,

though the world is cold This little glow knows the strength I

hold In the dark tunnel you’re the same as me Carrying gentle

hope

through each long night patiently No need to pretend,

no need to be strong At least this song remembers me tonight,

and you along

Those stumbles and falls slowly turn to growth Silent stubbornness

will meet the sun at last

Darkness fades away,

the spark will turn to day

We’re all on our way to a dawn that we create In

the dark tunnel

hides a tiny ray Sees me through the haze,

keeps my fears at bay Though the road is long,

though the world is cold This little glow knows the strength I

hold In the dark tunnel

you’re the same as me Carrying gentle hope through each long night

patiently No need to pretend,

no need to be strong At least this song remembers me tonight,

and you along

At least this tiny ray

Walks me through the long way

Remembers me

Remembers you

And your face, too
