Lyrics

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
And I'm not ready to come home yet
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
And I'm not ready to return

Is this why there's such fury in us?
Is this why?
Do we know somewhere inside
It's all a lie?

Is this what causes longing in us?
And why we yearn?
And why we yearn?

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to return
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to go home yet
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
I'm not ready to return

Is this why there's that longing in us?
Is that why?
Do we know somewhere
It's just a show?

That it's a show

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not quite ready to go
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to return

Lyrics

I'm a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to return yet
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
And I'm not ready to come home

Is this why there's such fury in us?
Is this why?
Do we suspect somehow
It's just a lie?

Is this what causes that longing?
Do we know
It's just a show?

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not quite ready to go
I'm a spark, on journey from the dark
Not ready to return

Lyrics

[We're rolling? right now?
All right, ladies and gentlemen we're rolling
And welcome wherever you are, the door to the arcane is thrust ajar
It's a new episode of 'just a spark, on journey from the dark' with me, Jonathan Richman, and today, today's episode is called a visit from Tommy

That's him over there
Tommy!
So Tommy's here
Because he drove up from Tuson]

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to come home yet
Just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to come home

Is that why there's such fury in us?
Is that why?
Do we suspect somehow
It's all a lie?

Is that why there's such sorrow in us?
Somehow known
It's all a show?
I wouldn't know

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Who's not ready to go yet
Who's not ready to return

Lyrics

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Not quite ready to go home yet
Just a spark, on journey from the dark
Not quite ready to return

Well is that why there's this fury in us?
Could that be why?
Do we suspect somehow
It's all just a lie?

Well is that why there's that sorrow in us?
Somehow we know?

I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Not quite ready to go
I'm just a spark, on journey from the dark
Not quite ready to return

Lyrics

[Hello everyone
Another episode of]
I'm Just a Spark on Journey From the Dark
Who's not quite ready to go home yet
[Another episode of that
From me, Jonathan Richman]

[I think this season
This second season of this
Started, oh when did it start, April 1
And I think will run
Till about, oh, another few
We're going to be doing another album soon
And we'll be working on that in the studio
So I might be
I might take
Some time off to do that
And then come back a few months after that]

[As you can see I do this as I go along
And, let's see what happens now
But now it's time for
The recent episode
The recentest of]

I'm Just a Spark on Journey from the dark
Not quite ready to go home

I want to be touched more still
I want a little more time
My day in the sun
Isn't over
I want my day in the sun
Not to be over

I'm just a spark on journey from that dark
Who isn't quite ready to return
Who wants a little more sun
A little more touch
A little more music
A little more dance
