It's Getting Dark

And so I'm leaving here today No, I'm not sure just where I'm going Burn out and watch it fade away I miss the comfort of my knowing Like running, standing in one place A paper crown made for a child king The truth can slap you in the face And slip off like a loose wedding ring When I talk, talk, talk You would lie, lie, lie I just wanted to be where you are And you told, told me If I tried, tried, tried You could help me see in the dark It's getting dark It's getting dark It's getting dark It's getting dark And so I'm giving up this fight This mountain I could not stop climbing You are an echo in the night A cloud without a silver lining Please tell my papa that I tried And tell my darling that I love her But something deep inside me died And follows hovering above her When I sought, sought, sought You would lie, lie, lie I just wanted to be where you are And you told, told me If I tried, tried, tried You could help me see in the dark When I sought, sought, sought You would lie, lie, lie I just wanted to be where you are And you told, told me If I tried, tried, tried You could help me see in the dark It's getting dark It's getting dark It's getting dark It's getting dark
