Darkness At Dawn
The times have been so grim,
and man, it's getting to me
But just hold tight and we'll break free
From all this hatred, death and misery
One day you'll see
I swear, you'll see
But for now, just be
And hold on to me, girl, just hold on to me
And we'll break free
The smoke blacks out the sunlight,
and it's so hot and dry
Aw, honey, please try not to cry
So hard to breathe here, and I don't want to die
But I don't know why
So let's just try
To climb real high
To where it's cool and clear under a bright blue sky
And then we'll fly
Oh, yeah, we'll fly
East coast under water, midwest all dust and wind
The rest all smoke and wildfire, and it'll get us in the end
Like they couldn't see this coming back before it got too late
Else they just didn't give a damn about their grandchildren's fate
We tried so hard, girl, but I just can't go on
And I know that you're already gone
So I'll lay you down here, but I'll be right along
It won't be long
"Cause I'm not real strong
But God, it feels so wrong
The music stopped just when we started our song
Darkness at dawn
Darkness at dawn
Darkness at dawn
It won't be long, you know it won't be that long
Darkness at dawn
Darkness at dawn
Darkness at dawn
