Artist/Band: Arlo Guthrie
Lyrics for Song: Darkest Hour
Lyrics for Album: In Times Like These [2007]



It's the tenth of January and I still ain't had no sleep

She comes waItzing in the nighttime made of wings

She is dressed up like a bandit with a hundred sparkling rings

Looking for my company to keep



Coming closer to me, she doesn't say a word

In the shadow of the carved rock tower

Where the sounds of the night were the only things we heard

In my darkest hour



She don't want to hear no secrets, she would guarantee me that

She knows there ain't no words that can describe her

With her white silk scarves and her black Spanish hat

She knows there ain't no way I can deny her



Yes, her blue velvet perfume filling up the night

The guards are all asleep that watch the tower

The moon light held her breast as she easily undressed

In my darkest hour



Her father's in his chambers with his friends all gathered around

They are plotting their enemy's demise

With their last detail done, they await the coming sun

While I am staring at my lover's eyes



Her brothers and her sisters are all through for tonight

Pretending that they've just come into power

But she far most of all, knows that they can only fall

In my darkest hour



Hungry wings, their melodies, while my love awakens me

In the midst of the sunburst first light

Her hands are holding up the skies as I hid my opened eyes

Every move just for herself and that's so right



Soon I went along my way with no words that could explain

As she began descending to the tower

Her safety now concerns me, her circumstance to blame

In my darkest hour
