Another Dark NIght

Another Dark Night

 

Without the light from your eyes

There's only darkness in mine

I'm like a drunk walking the line

Without your light

 

Waking up all alone

Where brothers do each other wrong

Do you hear these sighs and moans

Without your light

 

Without your light

We all stumble

Without your help

We all fail

Without your strength

we all tumble

head over heels into another dark night

 

St. John of the Cross

Learned to let go of his loss

lying in a cold dark cell

Without your light

 

Every soul has its dungeon

where it's lonely, dark, and cold

Where we learn to let it go

Without your light

 

Without your light

We all stumble

Without your help

We all fail

Without your strength

we all tumble

head over heels into another dark night

 

Right now I can't do anything but weep

and stare at these crosses that I keep

In this darkness nothing means anything

So I close my eyes and whisper to the King

 

Mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy my sweet Lord...
