Darkness your black coat is here
wet with rain and only you dear
would leave your things in a desperate pile
it’s just like you not to come home for a while
to leave the trouble to mark the skin
to tease everyone, then hide
wherever you are running to
it won’t be alright
no matter how far you run tonight
how far you run tonight
Darkness I’ve seen your black wings
beat like moths in the heat of spring
Darkness I’m wrapped in your lace
there’s no way out of this place
unless I grow my wings from gills
and not trust you to feed me still
there’s a light and it’s on all night
whether or not I am made of light
or I am full of night
Darkness your black coat is here and it’s wet with rain
And only you would leave your things in a desperate pile
It’s just like you not to come home for a while.
