The Oinks - The Brave of the Dark Lyrics

Twigs and Boon awoke one night
Their bed was bathed in soft moonlight
The stars were shining in the air
The breeze was cool and flicked their hair
I cannot see our walls, said Twigs
I cannot see our roof
Our house just isn't here, said Boon
It's gone and that's the proof
We should stay in bed
We should fall asleep, said Boon
We need to find our house, said Twigs
Let's go and ask the moon
They flew there on their bed
The moon looked down and said
Well, I'd say you'll need along your way
The brave of the dark
The brave of the dark
Who are they? Where do we go?
There's no Brave of the Dark we know
The moon shone down and cast a light
A path was clear and shimmered bright
Oh, what's ahead? Oh, what's in store?
The moon turned back and said no more
Let's fly now, we've made up our mind
To go and find
The Brave of the Dark
The Brave of the Dark
Twigs and Boon flew through the night
Through clouds of coloured swirls of light
Through showers of stars over forests below
And lakes that mirrored the moon aglow
A town appeared, they asked do they know
Where only the Brave of the Dark would go
That silver path to the mountain cave
Is where no one goes but the brave of the dark
The brave of the dark
Twigs and Boon stood at the cave
Boon said, Twigs, now I'm not brave
I'm scared, but I'll go in with you
And Twigs said that's what brave ones do
And in they went down the silver trail
A light revealed a giant snail
And upon its back was their house to see
They said you must be The Brave of the Dark
The Brave of the Dark
That's our house on your back said they
We want it put back right away
Said snail my cave is dark and deep
I need your porch light on to sleep
I saw it there while sliding by
And took it without saying why
It made me feel so safe to be
Within its yellow glow, you see
But you, my friends, without a light
Have ventured out into the night
You didn't know how long, how far
It's you who are the brave of the dark
The brave of the dark
When they were afraid they could do brave things
And as they slid home
They could hear the moon sing
You can be brave while you are afraid
You can be brave while you are afraid
You can be brave while you are afraid
You can be brave while you are afraid
