[Verse 1]
In the garden past the gate
Where the path just fades to gray
Little crowns of yellow sway
Though the sky is drained of day
Petals shiver in the chill
Breath like smoke above the hill
Every stem is standing still
Yet I feel them turning
Turning
[Chorus]
Daffodils in the dark
How do you bloom in the graveyard?
Golden eyes
Watching me
In a ring where the roots keep secrets
Daffodils in the dark
Glow like candles around my heart
Soft and pale
Sweet and strange
Calling out my name
[Verse 2]
Something hums beneath the soil
Soft as lullabies in bloom
All the faces bowed like prayer
All the shadows bend toward you
I could leave
I never do
Frozen at your fragile throne
Every breeze that brushes through
Whispers
“You are not alone” (not alone)
[Chorus]
Daffodils in the dark
How do you bloom in the graveyard?
Golden eyes
Watching me
In a ring where the roots keep secrets
Daffodils in the dark
Glow like candles around my heart
Soft and pale
Sweet and strange
Calling out my name
[Bridge]
One by one
Little heads begin to turn
All at once
Every throat begins to burn
And they laugh
Soundless in the still night air
As I kneel
Pollen tangled in my hair (oh)
[Chorus]
Daffodils in the dark
How do you bloom in the graveyard?
Golden eyes
Watching me
In a ring where the roots keep secrets
Daffodils in the dark
Glow like candles around my heart
If I sleep in your cold shade
Will I wake the same?
