These Dark Days
Everything is dead, the past left behind
Saw three pretty women weeping in line
Holy Bible in the drawer, sleeping on the floor
Waiting for the news of the comin' war
I don't know what to say
I don't care anyway
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
Lovers caught in a valley, with nowhere to stay
A leader resigns - a town separates
A mother hangs her child, with old shoestring
Some sisters gettin' married, some are missing rings
I've been sleeping in the gutter
For most of my life
It seems that we're heading towards darker times
Don't know where they'll put ya
I don't know where you'll go
All I can tell ya, darlin'
Is you'll never be alone
Power Mad gettin' stronger, all sense is lost
You can have your Island - what are the costs?
In the Land of the Free, only some allowed
Not if you wear white bowing down in a crowd
These times are strange
What else can ya say?
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
I fell in love with a singer - her hair long and black
Is there any chance of another attack?
For everything is broken, it's no big surprise
Nothing is permanent - someday we'll die
I was taught to go to church
Hold tears in my eyes
But it seems that we're heading towards darker times
Don't know what'll happen
Let's see if we cry
But I know we take for granted
Every single sunrise
In the Tennessee mountains, it's where I like to stay
Hide from the world - try to stay away
For everyone is mourning, for a brother's friend
Hey 62 million, is this how it ends?
I've loved too many times
To ask her to stay
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
Saw three pretty women weeping in line
Holy Bible in the drawer, sleeping on the floor
Waiting for the news of the comin' war
I don't know what to say
I don't care anyway
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
Lovers caught in a valley, with nowhere to stay
A leader resigns - a town separates
A mother hangs her child, with old shoestring
Some sisters gettin' married, some are missing rings
I've been sleeping in the gutter
For most of my life
It seems that we're heading towards darker times
Don't know where they'll put ya
I don't know where you'll go
All I can tell ya, darlin'
Is you'll never be alone
Power Mad gettin' stronger, all sense is lost
You can have your Island - what are the costs?
In the Land of the Free, only some allowed
Not if you wear white bowing down in a crowd
These times are strange
What else can ya say?
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
I fell in love with a singer - her hair long and black
Is there any chance of another attack?
For everything is broken, it's no big surprise
Nothing is permanent - someday we'll die
I was taught to go to church
Hold tears in my eyes
But it seems that we're heading towards darker times
Don't know what'll happen
Let's see if we cry
But I know we take for granted
Every single sunrise
In the Tennessee mountains, it's where I like to stay
Hide from the world - try to stay away
For everyone is mourning, for a brother's friend
Hey 62 million, is this how it ends?
I've loved too many times
To ask her to stay
It seems that we're heading towards darker days
