into the dark

Melissa Etheridge

There were stairs they were steep
I was falling falling deep
You were there you were small
There was screaming down the hall

I've been here sleeping all these years

There comes a time we all know
There's a place that we must go
Into the soul into the heart
Into the dark

There was fire there was death
There was lying on your breath
I turned away I would pretend
But the burning never ends

I've been here sleeping all these years

There was a wave over the house
There was fear choked in my mouth
You were there you left your mark
As I stumbled in the dark
