THE DARK DARK SKY

THE DARK DARK SKY

THE DARKINING SKY COVERS THE EARTH AS THE STARS COME TO REST FOR THE NIGHT
FLICKERS OF GOLD STRAY FROM THE DYING SUN
THE WORLD TURNS TO SILVER WITH
MOON ON THE RUN
DOWN IN THE TOWN THE PEOPLE SLEEP IN WARMING BEDS
NO THOUGHTS OF THE MORROW IN THERE SLEEPY
HEADS
THE SOUND OF CALIPING HORSES IN THE DISTENCE
FILL THE AIR AS THE TOWNSMEN SIT IN TAVERENS
SUPPING WITHOUT CARE
AS AT THE HARBOUR THE SHIPS READY TO DEPART
EVERY SAILOR FEELING FEAR IN HIS HEART
NOT KNOWING THE DISSTANCE OF THE JURNEY THEY GO
THE HORSEMEN APPEAR ON THE LIGHTINING BEACH
AS MOON TURNS TO SUN IN A WELLCOMING GLOW
THE COMPANY ASEMBELS ON WARM SOFTNIG SAND
SOME SAILORS SOME HORSEMEM TOGETHER THEY STAND
THE CHAPLIN BEFORE THEM THEY ALL KNEEL TO PRAY
GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD THEY ASK HIM TO SEND
A BLESSING FROM HEAVEN AND ATHANKS FOR HIS SON
THEN AND ASK HIM TO GIVE THERE
SHIP SAVE RETURN (AMEN)
