Well, I'm never gonna be a figure skater
And I'm never gonna be a saint
Never gonna show the haters who I am, or who I ain't
I used to think that I could heal the whole world with a song
I guess sometimes everybody gets it wrong
But when the darkness descends
I call up my good friends
They come down to the riverbend
And crack me up until the light gets in
I ain't the only person who gets lonely
But when I'm feeling lonely it sure seems that way
And trying not to think about the things that I done wrong
Gets harder at the dimming of the day
So when the darkness descends
I call up my good friends
They come down to the riverbend
And crack me up until the light gets in
On those days when hope feels like a needle in the hay
You're losing all your faith in humankind
And everyone around you swears there ain't no brighter day
But everything is darkness to the blind
When the darkness descends
Call up all your good friends
Bring em down to the riverbend
We'll crack up until the light gets in
