Spark Lyrics - Over The Rhine

It's not the spark that caused the fire 

It was the air you breathed that fanned the flame 

What you think you'll solve with violence 

Will only spread like a disease 

Until it all comes 'round again 

Was John the only dreamer? 

Sleep with one ear close to the ground 

And wake up screaming 

When we lay our cold weapons down 

We'll wake up dreaming 

Obsessions with self-preservation 

Faded when I threw my fear away 

It's not a thing you can imagine 

You either lose your fear 

Or spend your life with one foot in the grave 

Is God the last romantic? 

Sleep with one ear close to the ground 

And wake up screaming 

When we lay our cold weapons down 

We'll wake up dreaming 

Only love can turn this around 

I wake up dreaming 

Everything we've lost can be found 

We'll wake up dreaming
