The Darkness
by Keith Abbott

Oh come on now just look at the time
My whole ball of string is startin'ta unwind
Oh but for you it'd be a pleasure goin blind
Armed with memories they are sayin' of my sight
See just like the sun all you need is the light
Oh but in the darkness the peace that I find

Staggerin' down the road drunk on your wine
Stumblin' in and out every door to all the peddlers' delight
One look at my bottle they say son I'm so glad you're alright
All the time thinkin' e'en this fools blood is gonna be mine
And once inside oh see how it dances afire
And it all seem alright 'til the curtain are thrown open wide

Oh but in the darkness the peace that I find
Oh but in the darkness the peace that I find

Bones laid high upon the rocks where the water went dry
The scent has gone out and they'll soon all know just where I've been lyin'
Ticket to ride but now I'm just beggin' a dime
All that's comin' off of the scales is where I put all my time in
And all I can do is think on ya as I close my eyes
And we're back under the tree where we met before we turned out the lights

Oh and in the darkness the peace that I find
Oh and in the darkness the peace that I find
