A Long Time In The Dark
Words and Music by Patrick Harnish
Close my eyes
And dream of you.
I spent a long time in the dark
Just waiting true.
And if you told me not to go
I'd stay here in the dark
And wait some more.
And if it's in your heart to say
This is goodbye.
I'll be on my way.
There's a reaper comin'
And he knows my name.
Got a moonlight spade
Gonna' dig my grave.
The preacher man said
That I could still be saved.
There's a woman in the city
Gonna' steal my soul.
And Linda said Daddy
Sing me rock and roll
Before the sun goes down
And your bodies' cold.
My bodies' cold.
I've lost my way
In thoughts of you.
The path to you is dark
And I've walked true.
In all my plans
I've wanted you.
But plans drawn in the dark
Don't all see through.
And if it's in your heart to say
You're gone forever.
I'll be on my way.
There's a reaper comin'
And it spoke my name.
Got a blood-soaked blade
And a waiting grave.
A preacher man told me
That I could still be saved.
There's a witch in the city
Gonna' steal my soul.
The boys said Daddy
Sing us rock and roll
Before the sun goes down
And your bodies' cold.
I lay here cold.
There's a devil comin'
And it wrote my name.
There's a devil comin'
And I can't be saved.
There's a bast in the city
Gonna' steal my soul.
And Linda said Daddy
Sing me rock and roll
Until the sun goes down
And your body has gone cold.
Until your daddy has gone cold.
Until your daddy lies here cold.
Until your daddy has turned cold.
Until your daddy lies here cold.
