Darkness at dawn, Darkness at dawn my dear friend I hoped the darkness wouldn't track me down again but my friends turned to ghosts, my throat always choked and my words never seemed to get through the clouds won't stop raining, and I can't stop complaining, but it doesn't make a difference to you
Darkness at dawn, Darkness at dawn my true love the darkness was the last thing I was thinkin' of But then your touch grew colder, and your hand on my shoulder seemed to wither and drift away that bright summer sunlight has faded to twilight; our hearts are cold and grey
I could see the storm approaching from the outskirts of town and its cloud was deathlike black And no force of man, be it subtle or grand was gonna push that darkness back
Darkness at dawn, Darkness at dawn is what has found me I just need to be patient through this time that's bound me for while light may be fleetin' I've no doubt it's succeedin' on its march towards my heart and my mind As long as I keep on movin' and convinced I'm not loosin' I know it's just a matter of time
