DARK WAS THE NIGHT

DARK WAS THE NIGHT
(Gallagher/Jackson/Blind Willie Johnson) Universal

Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
No one in sight
I 'm alone

Too hard my heart
I'll cut off my tounge
The things I've said
The things I've done

I was a fool
And just like a fool
I was as blind as I was cruel

Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
No one in sight
Just me and the moon

Dark was the night
Cold was the river
As I refected apon
The things I couldn'r give her

I built a house
Couldn't make it a home
So I painted the walls
and left her alone

She was strong
For so so long
By the time I came round
She was gone

Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
No one in sight
Now I 'm alone
