Emmylou Harris In My Hour Of Darkness Lyrics

In my hour of darkness in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me wisdom oh, Lord grant me speed

Once I knew a young man
went driving through the night
miles and miles without a word
but just his high beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build
such a deadly Denver bend
to be so strong, to last so long
as it would till the end.

Another young man safely,
strummed his silver stringed guitar
He played to people ev'rywhere some say he was a star.
But he was just a country boy,
his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him so very few possess.
But in my hour of darkness ...

The ther was an old man kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book
never missed a page
And loved him like a father,
and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time could shortly come
but I did not know just when.
In my hour of darkness ...
