About the Artist
Lyrics
This is a "Long Dark Night" I was long inside a dream, could not get loose I'll tell you it, although there is little use To tell a dream when dreaming is all you ever do Things were not so good, I can't make light of it My poor soul, it was having a dark night It was a long night, a week, maybe a year Maybe a long dark night is coming down Maybe a long dark night is coming down Through the door of my dream burst No zombie, no ogre, no devil there But a flying man with long trailing hair Who perched on the iron rail of my bed Oh Lord, combing his long white hair, and saying my name How could he know when I did not even know my name? Maybe a long dark night is coming down Maybe the sun don't shine on everyone Maybe a long dark night is rolling 'round my eyes Oh, Lord The man who took me to be from elsewhere When I too inhabited the earthly sphere Leant down and struck me with his long trailing hair Maybe a long dark night is coming down Maybe the sun don't shine on everyone Maybe a long dark night is rolling 'round my eyes Oh, Lord Maybe a long dark night is coming down Maybe the sun don't rise on everyone Maybe a long dark night is rolling 'round my eyes Oh Lord, take me home
