lyrics

Darkest Days
When the nests are bare
And the birds have flown
These are the darkest, darkest days
I have ever known
When the skies are crumbling
And the days have tumbled in
To all the weeks I’m fumbling through
Without you
When the words don’t seem to fit the lines
And every note is out of time
There is still the half true rhyme
The half true rhyme

And your hand is on my shoulder
And you walk beside me still
And your voice still echoes through me
Oh still

When it’s only vapour trails
When it’s only memory
Safe inside the treasury
You still run
And if the morning never comes
The night has swallowed up the sun
Your song is but a distant hum
Well it still hums

And your hand is on my shoulder
And you walk beside me still
And your voice still echoes through me
Oh still

When the words don’t seem to fit the lines
And every note is out of time
There is still the half true rhyme
The half true rhyme
