Darkness settles on the ground Leaves the day stumbling blind Coming to a quiet close And maybe just in time We'd almost lost the heart to know How to keep our best in mind We'd almost lost the heart to know... How to keep our best in min Time has turned an angry face Throws a dark eye back to sea What will pass for mercy now We practice unforgivingly As if might and will make right Or either one will make us free As if might and will make right Or either one will make us free Lovers laugh and cross this way Weaving out and into the street It seems we never were so young Or it was never quite so sweet But the world is always beautiful When its seen in full retreat The worst of life is beautiful As it slips away in full retreat God only knows that we can we do No more or less than hell allow God only knows that we mean well God knows that we just dont know how But I'll try to be your light in love And pray that is enough for now
