Darkness

(David Crosby, Jeff Pevar and James Raymond)



[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Piano)]



Some of us wind up in shadow

Some of us wind up in shade

There are distinctions

In the darkness to be made

I have made welcome to darkness

When the light's focused in too tight

And said hello as if to a friend

When I should have picked a fight

Darkness with blues is

Different than darkness shared

The blue tones will make you lonely

And lonely leaves you scared

Right at the edge of consciousness

Black meets flickering red

Of the fires in the ruins

And a truth is left unsaid

We are all sparks in the darkness

And there is the oncoming night

Fool that I am I want to touch your wings

And try to make some light

Many of us live in a fog

The wire wizards made

Sucking up a string of electrons

From the screen where they are sprayed

Darkness with blues is

Different than darkness shared

The blue tones will make you lonely

And lonely leaves you scared

The blue tones will make you lonely

And lonely leaves you scared

Some of us wind up in shadow

Some wind up in shade
