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
