Josh Ritter In The Dark lyrics

We started looking for you in the darker caves
We had a lot of love we thought would light the way
We saw the wrecks of buildings and ships that sank in starlight
We saw the ghosts of angels that spoke of falls from tremendous heights

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark

We saw your old flames and some were burning
It made us smile to see just how well tended each was kept
But other fires were burning too and I saw the battlefields
The dying light brigade stretched out upon the wheel

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark

Don't you leave us in the dark

Every heart is much the same we tell ourselves down here
The same chambers fed by veins the same maze of love and fear
We thought you were a saint but the halo was an eye
It's hard to see how there could be so much dark inside the light

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
