Lyrics:

She started a blaze from one tiny spark

I didn't even detect

She loved the light, was dismayed by the dark

The stars, though, she seemed to respect



The faint light that flutters at night to the Earth

Would land in her eyes and collect

Luminous creatures she'd find in the surf

I never thought to inspect



Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind

Seem to get lost and harder to find

When I am alone, I am inclined

If I find a pebble in the sand

To think that it fell from my hand



She gave me ideas, planted the seed

But she never stopped to reflect

The course that she's on, wherever it leads

I never would redirect



Pebbles and marbles, like words from a friend

Make us hold tight, but are lost in the end

When we're alone, we all seem to tend

If we find a marble in the dust

To wish someone left it for us



Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind

Seem to get lost and harder to find

When I am alone, I am inclined

If I find a pebble in the sand

To wish that it fell from my hand



Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind...
