We Found Each Other in the Dark

"and the swans they started singing, but then oh, rejoice! i can still hear your voice."

beautiful is an understatement. there's so much power in that one part, it gives me chills with the change on the word "rejoice."

i had some trouble with the rest of the bridge, but i'll post the corrections if anyone has them or if they're posted in the cover booklet.

Title is a line in Green Mile. I wonder if this is on purpose.

extra "found" 2nd line 3rd stanza

It sounds like "the black starless water" to me

Although I agree with many interpretations in terms of finding someone when you were at your worst, and then at theirs, I can't help but think this could also be about passing into the afterlife and reuniting with a loved one. Church bells ringing could be a funeral, and just being lost and damaged and they find you. Or it could also be just that random time when a loved one has passed, and you're at a fork in the road, or going through a terrible time, and they find you in your darkest place and you hear their voice and they guide you through it.

My brother and my sister-in-law chose this song for their first dance together and it was perfect. She had come out of a physical and psychological abusive relationship. He had been burned before and never planned on getting married, let alone having two step-daughters. He told our mom that he was always trying to fix the girls he dated but she was the first one to take care of him. They really did find each other in the dark and found those church bells :).
