Oh, in the dark night
we know nothing, we are nothing at all
Hold onto the dark night
we will find it there if we find it at all
climbed to the top of that tall hill
looked across the lay of the land
but I saw nothing, I saw nothing at all
Went to that good place of learning
burned the books or swallowed them whole
but I learned nothing, I learned nothing at all
Oh in the dark night
you will find it there if you find it at all
Wandered all over the east end
kicking trash and upturning stones
but i found nothing, I found nothing at all
Oh i shot down that old rough beast
skinned it and nailed it to the wall
but i felt nothing, I felt nothing at all
Hold onto the dark night
Oh we will find it there if we find it at all
Wandering
When i was done wandering
I went back home
Sitting in the house i was living in
the back door flew open and here’s what i saw
All of the people and places that i had been through
in one terrible roar, singing like:
Come back to the dark night
oh there was something in all that you saw
but if you hold to only the dark night
you will find something there, but there is
so much more

Great performer makes album that further expresses her individuality, even more so than her previous band. I have got praise for days. This has long and short songs: you can't lose! Justin
So glad this thing of beauty has been given a ‘physical’ release. Let’s hope Bill & Billy follow suit and release an album of all their other recent collaborations. ♥️ Tim Mee
