the phantom of the opera lyrics night darkens

To Robert Johnson, Joni, Jimmy down on his knees I’m a sucker for a punch line, that’s no jokeįrom a block of wood he cut out from a living tree In a song that makes me a little less blue Hit the bars and taverns, every watering hole It was light when I was young and set out on the road He must have struck a chord, in the back of my mind He said he found it heavy, I hadn’t thought about it

Picked up my guitar and passed it to the kid Maybe we’d find some peace inside there too If we face the music and the howling gale Like somethin from a scene in Apocalypse Nowīetter say your prayers, that it won’t lastĭeal with when we said that we were through

There’s a storm comin’, look at them clouds My tears are freezing, my heart is turning blueĭriving me through the snowdrifts back to you I hope you got wood and the fire is bright There’s a storm comin’ you better prepare They say it’s gonna be the worst we’ve ever seenĪnd we’ve seen a lotta bad ones, you know what I mean They say you better stock up on provisions and booze I just can’t wait for the changing tide, no. Send me a sign to show me where you sleep I just can’t wait for the changing tide, …no…no Thought I heard a song drift in on the rolling seaĪ voice that sweetly sang like a lost selkie Took a walk under a blood moon late at nightīarefoot at the edge of an ocean that shone so bright So afraid to trust our wings and just let goĪlways waiting for someone to call our nameĪnd if they don’t we look for someone else to blame

We are fragile, yet stronger than we know You’re the one I want to travel with through time Last night with you, I learned what I knew We don’t know much and we know less every dayĪbout time and how it moves and slips awayĪbout distance and the journey of a heart There’s a ripple in the universe out there Pulled a ticket from the wheel upon the wall
