A song which started out as one thing and became something else as well.
Update:This is a new mix/master of the song

lyrics

THE SPARK THE LIGHTS THE FIRE

I will make for you a love song
Stronger than the tide
As wide as the horizon
As big as Norfolk skies
I’ll forge it out of laughter
Out of promises and pain
And sorrows all overcome
And joy come home again

I’ll paint it on the reed beds
And the tall cathedral spire
I’ll shout it up to heaven
And set the moon on fire
I’ll spin it out of stories
Whispered in the night
And silvered strands of memory
Tied up with autumn light

You are the spark that lights the fire
You are the spring which feeds the sea
You are the lightning bolt
which shocks the heart to life
The thought which makes the dream

I’ll play it on the skyline
As the sun begins to rise
In crimson and in diamonds
Eating up the sky
And as the sun is setting
On the thirteen city parks
Throwing dying shards of sunlight
Out into the dark

I’ll build out of cobwebs
Hung with morning dew
And sunlight in April mist
Fighting to break through
I’ll write it out in laughter lines
In breath and blood and bone
In ebony and in firelight
In water and in stone

You are the spark that lights the fire
You are the spring which feeds the sea
You are the lightning bolt
which shocks the heart to life
The thought which makes the dream

I’ll dance it round the ruins
The churchyards and the lanes
The village greens and castles
And the council house estates
I’ll sing it in the market towns
And on the city streets
On the piers and promenades
Across the cold North Sea

I’ll weave it out of hailstorms
Of snow and summer rain
And super cells and flash floods
And Squalls and hurricanes
And thunderheads and lightning
And the wind upon the wheat
Will take it up and spin it round
And lay it at your feet

And everything I’ve ever known
And all I’ve ever been
And all I’ve ever loved or lost
And all I’ve ever seen
Everything that makes me
All I think and feel and do
I’ll put them in the love song
That I will make for you

You are the spark that lights the fire
You are the spring which feeds the sea
You are the lightning bolt
which shocks the heart to life
The thought which makes the dream
