Emmylou Harris - In My Hour Of Darkness lyrics

In my hour of darkness in my time of need Oh Lord, grant me wisdom oh, Lord grant me speed Once I knew a young man Went driving through the night Miles and miles without a word But just his high beam lights Who'd have ever thought they'd build Such a deadly Denver bend To be so strong, to last so long As it would till the end. Another young man safely, Strummed his silver stringed guitar He played to people ev'rywhere Some say he was a star. But he was just a country boy, His simple songs confess And the music he had in him so very few possess. But in my hour of darkness ... The ther was an old man kind and wise with age And he read me just like a book Never missed a page And loved him like a father, And I loved him like my friend And I knew his time could shortly come But I did not know just when. In my hour of darkness ...
