Darkness Arrives (And Departs)

(album: Mystic Truth - 2019)

I've got these pictures of yesterday
These pictures, they're all that I've got
Tomorrow looks different
When hope seems so distant
Distant, the days that I want

Found an old flame in the parking lot
With a newspaper clenched in her hands, said
"Tomorrow looks different when hope seems so distant"
And damn, man
I knew what she meant

But that's where you're wrong
The future's in only our hands
Isn't that mad?

The night will light your fears awake
The sun will dry your tears away
Darkness arrives and departs
What's a little price to pay?

Saw my old friend at the supermarket
He turned away, I looked back
Tomorrow looks different
Then suddenly you're in it
Yesterday needs to come back

That's where you're wrong
The future's in only our hands
Isn't that mad?

The night will light your fears awake
The sun will dry your tears away
Darkness arrives and departs
What's a little price to pay?

I've got these pictures of yesterday
These pictures, they're all that I've got

That's where you're wrong
The future's in only our hands
Isn't that mad?

The night will light your fears awake
The sun will dry your tears away
Darkness arrives and departs
What's a little price to pay?

The night will light your fears awake
The sun will dry your tears away
Darkness arrives and departs
Darkness arrives and departs

Tomorrow looks different
Then suddenly you're in it
Darkness arrives and departs
