DARK WAS THE NIGHT

DARK WAS THE NIGHT

DARK WAS THE NIGHT THAT THEY LAID MY DEAREST SIX FEET UNDER
DARK WAS THE SHADOW THAT CAST OVER MY BED
DARK IS MY HEART BEATING LOUDER THAN THE DISTANT THUNDER
GONE IS THE LIGHT FROM THE NIGHT WE WERE WED

CHORUS
THE AIR TURNED STRANGE,
THE CROWS ARRANGED A SOMBER SCENE IN WINTER
THE MIDNIGHT SKY
TURNED A BLIND EYE TO TEARS I SHED

DARK WAS THE NIGHT THAT MY DEAR BECAME THE “DEAR DEPARTED”
DARK WAS THE BLOOD THAT STAINED MY WEDDING VEIL
DARK ARE THE HOURS THAT I LAY LONELY AND BROKEN-HEARTED
GONE WAS MY LOVE FROM THIS QUIET COUNTRY DALE

CHORUS

BRIDGE
OH, THE DARKEST THOUGHTS
OF LONGING YOU HERE
OR, TO FOLLOW YOU
JUST TO HOLD YOU NEAR…

CHORUS
