Hey you, darkness ahead, can you wait?
There are sunsets - deep red and spectacular,
Slanting showers, the headwind are great,
And the roads that are rough and irregular.

There you hear someone’s lies,
That’s where rumors arise.
There are meetings - completely unreasonable.
There the grass quickly withers and dies,
And the tracks are unreadable
...in the dark.

There’s a test of your strength, there’s a fight,
There is fog and high surf and humidity.
Your heart’s messing its rhythms tonight,
and it beats intermittently.

There you hear someone’s lies,
That’s where rumors arise.
There are meetings - completely unreasonable.
There the grass quickly withers and dies,
And the tracks are unreadable
...in the dark.

Every color is way off the mark,
But I don’t have to choose them accordingly.
I’m much needed out there in the dark!
It’ll get better, most probably.

There you hear someone’s lies,
That’s where rumors arise.
There are meetings - completely unreasonable.
There the grass quickly withers and dies,
And the tracks are unreadable
...in the dark.
