Darkness settles on the ground, leaves the day stumbling blind. Coming to a quiet close, and maybe just in time. We've almost lost the heart to know how to keep our best in mind. We've almost lost the heart to know how to keep our best in mind. Time has turned an angry face, throws a dark eye back to see. But what will pass for mercy now, will practice unforgivingly. As if might and will make right, or either one could make us free. As if might and will make right, or either one could make us free. Lovers laugh and cross this way, they're weaving out into the street. It seems we never were so young, or it was never quite so sweet. But the world is always beautiful when it's seen in full retreat. The worst of life looks beautiful as it slips away in full retreat. God only knows that we can do, no more or less than he'll allow. Well God only knows that we mean well, God knows that we just don't know how. But I try to be your light and love, pray that it's enough for now. Well I've tried to be your light and love, and I pray that it's enough for now. *
