77
My Darkness was not Followed by Light
(Version ll)
Last night when the veil of darkness fell
There was no moon to shine
A blanket of cloud had separated earth from the heavens.
And down here the only sound
Was the hooting of the owls
And the squeak of the bats
The hopelessness of my love for you
Perfectly matched the night
But the darkness I felt inside
Was not followed by dawn
