Ever The Dark

[Verse 1]

Ever the dark come callin'

Ever the ground gon' shake

Ever it don't stop rainin'

Ever the dam gon' break

Now and then, we let a little light in

And then we're back again drawing the blinds

Ever the dark come calling

Ever the sun don't shine

[Verse 2]

I'm tired of shooting myself in the foot

Every shotgun blast

Renders my best laid plans kaput

Flies my flag half mast

Even when I've been keeping my mind right

Setting my sights on woe

Ever the dark come calling

Ever the light lay low

[Verse 3]

Ever the dark come calling

Ever you can't say when

Ever the sun come shinin'

Ever the roof caves in

Even when I'm gonna say it again

We got trouble like it's never been known

Ever the dark come callin'

Ever the light stay gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I'm gonna change my number, gonna change, my friend

Take myself to meetings, child, let it all sink in

I tried fakin' it, thinkin' I was makin' it, shakin' it a time or two

Shame, shame, I've been fanning that flame

Then rammin' that blame on you

Hey, hey baby, what do you say?

If we ever get it back, why don't we leave it that way?

[Verse 4]

Ever the dark come calling

Ever the light lay low

Ever the moon say don't blame me

Ever the stars say it won't

I heard talkin' 'bout a line worth walkin'

Been balkin' ever since day one

Ever the dark come calling

Ever it ain't no fun
