Into That Darkness

Been staring at the void too long My blue skies have turned black And the creepers that you cut down From my walls have all grown back Tomorrow runs ahead just like An old way through the wood Been trodden many times before But it's no clearer understood Where on earth it's taking us And how we're meant to choose When it forks around the bend And either way we lose In my head I played the part Of the lover who was stung An innocent abandoned In the dark when he was young But when I see more clearly Through the lies of my little play I was just as much the wolf Out hunting fot its prey Oh love I know I've let you down And all the promises I made And with all that anger I'll go to my grave I've travelled far off countries I've seen many far out things But I've never left this man-shaped cage Or shaken off this skin Got a picture of the little boy As he reached towards the sun But now more sand's gone through the glass Than there's still left to run And when the lamp is burning low And the sitches slip their seams Into that darkness We'll go with our dreams
