When Darkness Comes
And the darkness unfurls along your toes Slowly rolling up to your knees While your eyes are dead set ahead Staring at the sun slowly hiding under the seas
And it reaches your heaving chest As the moon starts coming out of the sky Like a little weak head light But it shines with all its might
And it covers you up all the way to your head Disappearing once and for all As the stars start twinkling above Like it would never ever fall
And then the slithering silver scatters Along the side of the shores You finally see the light That uncovers them all
And you wonder where all that glory went That was mighty under the golden light Is this simply a feeling of regret? Coming out of your eerie past in the night?
And you wait ‘til the wee hours Die along with the buzzes and the breeze As you rock yourself to sleep Ignoring your senses to be at ease
And then comes the trickle of orange ray As you blink through the tears And you welcome the sight of light of day As it erases all the unspoken fears
But wait not for evening to come And visit you again, my sweet For the darkness would never cease to come And your laughter would turn to sour defeat
