Darkest Days
Passenger · Other Songs - Passenger
Like a ship in a storm
See the birds against the sun
Feel the weight of things to come
And everything that's been before
See the woods with no pathways
See your grandfather's last days
See the darkest days my dear
Whisper words soft and low
To the songs that you know
And take them on your way
See the fallen snow
Beneath the street light glow
By the side of the motorway
See the walls with no doorways
With a heavy heart always
See the darkest days my dear
See the woods with no pathways
See your grandfather's last days
See the darkest days my dear
