Vital Spark

from Bridges by Tim Harrison

about

I had the privilege of looking after my son for part of his infancy. It established a bond like no other I have ever known.

Beverly Kreller did a wonderful job arranging her background part on this tune.

lyrics

VITAL SPARK
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1995


When I walk down the streets and along the avenues
I hear the children shout I think of you
I think of times we’ve had and the times we'll see soon
How we're drawn together like the earth and the moon

And when the lamps light up the falling snow
My footsteps tell me where I need to go
And though the path that's left may wind a time or two
I head straight for the light that leads to you


CH: Because I can feel your vital spark
And sense a soft glow even in the dark
I feel your warmth when I grow cold
And your youth when I feel old

When I'm out on the street in the broad daylight
Shadows cross my path before the night
Well though the sun refuse to shine and the clouds roll in
Whenever I see your face it makes me sing

CH

When I walk down the beach along an empty shore
Grey Mother Sea will roll on evermore
Like a choir the tides run high with their refrain
Like water I return to you again

When I walk down the streets and along the avenues
I hear the children shout and think of you
I think of times we’ve had and the times we'll see soon
How we're drawn together like the earth and the moon
