Trap The Spark Lyrics - Vol. 1-happiness Is The Road: Essence - Marillion

The love that pounds your heart through your chest every night 

Until the bed jumps beneath you and scares you white 

Trap the spark and hold it there 

You can't. You can't 

Goose-bumps that don't fade away 

They can't remain 

I've opened the box and I've touched the treasures of the earth 

They're buried on the island far away 

And I'm here in England with the map burning my pocket 

Dreaming of diamonds. 

Such a blinding secret to bear. 

Trap the spark and hold it there 

You can't . You can't. 

Goose-bumps that don't fade away 

They can't remain 

Hold the perfect moment 

Pin the cloud to the sky 

Grab the spark and hold it 

You can TRY. 

I've looked into a million laughing unhappinesses 

In every bar and on the TV 

But I know the real thing 

I can remember 

I can almost tell you how it is 

Trap the spark and hold it there 

You can't. You can't 

Goosebumps that don't fade away 

They can't remain 

Photograph a feeling 

Pin the cloud to the sky 

Trap the spark and hold it 

You can try 

Trap the spark and hold it there 

Grab the spark and hold it there.
