Artist/Band: Josh Ritter
Lyrics for Song: In The Dark
Lyrics for Album: The Animal Years [2006]



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 (x4)



We saw your old flames

And some were burning yet

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 (x4)



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 (x7)
