Strawbs Deep In The Darkest Night Lyrics

Engine's turning
But there ain't no spark
Owls a-hooting
But the dog won't bark
No more greetings
From the meadowlark
Deep in the darkest night

I tried to warn you
But you'd gone too far
The cut was serious
But left no scar
Now you're waving
From a distant star
Deep in the darkest night

You climbed your ladder
While the sun shone bright
Now you're a memory
Never out of sight
A shining light
Deep in the darkest night

You were youngest But you stepped out first
You were gifted
But the gift was cursed
You gave your good heart
'Til your good heart burst
Deep in the darkest night

You spoke your word
And your word was trust
But a will of iron
Can turn to rust
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Deep in the darkest night

I know you're watching
And I wish you well
When next I see you
Only time will tell
When you see me coming
Give that rebel yell
Deep in the darkest night
