The night just got darker, and the moon fell out of sight
God’s helpful stars are drained of all their light
a good friend of mine, who fell on hard times
thinks he hides his pain, if he shares with me mine
I’ll never dream of you, a lonely man
I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands
then when I got sick through the thin and the thick
I’ll turn my back and let myself live

Well the nights only get longer, before your sun will shine
leave the clock alone my brother your enemy is time
remember what the ramblin man said, on his way back home
don’t hang your head much longer there’s more pretty girls than one

I’ll never dream of you, a lonely man
I used to grab at truth with those same strong hands,
then when I got sick through the thin and the thick
I’ll turn my back and I let myself live
