Long have I drifted with little found I bite my tongue and listen to the sound Of old dusk fading out and on Of quiet night heading back down I held a map with edges thin I followed the folds to the creases of your skin Where I saw those shadows in your hand Where I found you so sad and lonesome Oh, I am Dark was I then, dark will I be
In the hollow of your hand it is night and lonely I have listened to your stories, followed you here Take your palms from my face, rest them somewhere Oh, I am Night is drawn on this heavy laden eve In the air I see the stars you breathe They're leading me away Taking all the days They're leading me away Taking all the day's unrest
