Darkness
|
(David Crosby, Jeff Pevar and James Raymond)
|
|
[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Piano)]
|
|
Some of us wind up in shadow
|
Some of us wind up in shade
|
There are distinctions
|
In the darkness to be made
|
I have made welcome to darkness
|
When the light's focused in too tight
|
And said hello as if to a friend
|
When I should have picked a fight
|
Darkness with blues is
|
Different than darkness shared
|
The blue tones will make you lonely
|
And lonely leaves you scared
|
Right at the edge of consciousness
|
Black meets flickering red
|
Of the fires in the ruins
|
And a truth is left unsaid
|
We are all sparks in the darkness
|
And there is the oncoming night
|
Fool that I am I want to touch your wings
|
And try to make some light
|
Many of us live in a fog
|
The wire wizards made
|
Sucking up a string of electrons
|
From the screen where they are sprayed
|
Darkness with blues is
|
Different than darkness shared
|
The blue tones will make you lonely
|
And lonely leaves you scared
|
The blue tones will make you lonely
|
And lonely leaves you scared
|
Some of us wind up in shadow
|
Some wind up in shade
|
