Lost Out In The Darkness

(album: Hallelujah Anyhow - 2017)

If you love me, please tell me
I've gotta feel that word between us

If you need me, don't sell me
If I see the black dog it's gonna kill me

And in the morning when you rise
Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water
It's a strange, sweet kind of light
To be lost out in the darkness of the border

I've been waiting for you patiently
I'm trying to be hopeful for you, brother

Hey there, hangman: Wait for me
Can you give my number to another?

And in the morning when you rise
Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water
It's a strange, sweet kind of life
To be lost out in the darkness of the border

If you carry the good news, show me
I've been looking for a song down among us

When the poets called for gasoline
I knew my days in the kingdom
Were numbered

And in the morning when you rise
Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water
It's a strange, sweet kind of life
To be lost out in the darkness of the border
