Long Dark Night (Live God)

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
