Bonnie ’Prince’ Billy - I See a Darkness

Well, you’re my friend, (that’s what you told me) And can you see (what’s inside of me) Many times we’ve been out drinking And many times we’ve shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got Well you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know And you know I have a drive to live I won’t let go But can you see it’s opposition, comes arising up sometimes That it’s dreadful antiposition, comes blacking in my mind And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you, you Can save me from this darkness Well I hope that someday buddy We have peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or with our wives And we can stop our whoring And pull the smiles inside And light it up forever And never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother This isn’t all I see Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you, you Can save me from this darkness
