Dark Night of the Soul

Verse 1

Oh Lord, I see the setting sun.

Oh Lord, I see the light.

Oh Lord, the sky is bleeding love.

Don’t bring me to the night.

My eyes are black with shadows.

I’m tired and I am cold.

Waiting for this dark night of the soul.

Chorus

I’m leaving for the morning, but I’m getting there by night.

The wonder of the evening is it shimmers first with light.

I’m stumblin’ through these midnight lands,

Praying good dreams will take my hand.

Don’t make me do this dark night of the soul.

Verse 2

Take me to the morning sun.

Remind me there’s a star.

Oh Lord, the sky is broken and

I haven’t gone that far.

I have no map for shadows.

My heart is getting cold.

Waiting for this dark night of the soul.

Chorus

I’m leaving for the morning, but I’m getting there by night.

The wonder of the evening is it shimmers first with light.

I’m stumblin’ through these midnight lands,

Praying good dreams will take my hand –

Don’t make me do this dark night of the soul.

Bridge

Oh, Lord, I see the sunrise and feel the morning light.

Oh, Lord I see a face that waits beyond the shores of night.

She leads me from the shadows. I have her heart to hold,

Waking from this dark night of the soul.

Chorus

I’m leaving for the morning, but I’m getting there by night.

The wonder of the evening is it shimmers first with light.

I’m stumblin’ through these midnight lands,

Praying good dreams will take my hand –

Don’t make me do this dark night of the soul.
