Herndon - Sometimes in the Darkness lyrics

Sometimes In The Darkness Rog is in the kitchen thinking about the Future John is in his bedroom thinking about the Past I'm just wasting no time like the Present And nothing I can do can make this moment last I listened to Buck Owens and I thought I heard God Screaming in a solo, He told me to take heed I rewound the tape, but at closer listen I don't think anybody's talking to me So I burned another filter and I smoked another joint I drank a winegla** full of straight vermouth The Italians like it dry, but it made me pucker I'm k**ing my senility in my youth Nobody believes me when I tell them I'm a poet They all just think I'm an alcoholic But that's okay with me, 'cause I can understand it And maybe that's the reason you haven't been calling me Sometimes in the darkness when I'm all alone I think about love and I think I need proof But proof never comes and darkness surrounds me So when I'm all alone I think about you It gets me thinking about all of the women From years ago that I knew in the past It gets me thinking about True Love And if it exists, does it ever last? Why do all the girls who say they love me Show me their emotion by beating me up? I guess that it's easier to hide your feelings And there's less of a chance of getting hurt if you got someone to beat on up A little baby reaches out with open arms And we know that he means he wants to be hugged But if I'd do the same you'd think I was weak Twenty years of hurt has taught me how to hide my love Why can't I just come right out and tell you That I don't really know you, but I think I'm in love? I guess that I'm afraid you won't feel the same And when I'm reaching out I don't want to be shoved One time I heard a story about True Love I didn't understand it, especially the end It was about a Carpenter who loved everybody And he laid down his life for the love of His friends And sometimes in the darkness when I'm all alone I think about carpenters and the things they do And I don't know nothing about nails and hammers But sometimes in the darkness, Lord, I think about you Lord, I think about you © 1995 & 2011, Allen Herndon (BMI).
