Darkness Comes

There he was in the back room

Spittin blood into a can

All hooked up to those machines

He gave it all that he had

He said I know I'm just a stranger to you

But I loved you even so

Come here close and let me tell you

Something that you ought to know

I don't know what they told you son

But the darkness comes for everyone

There's a light that I can't see

I hope you do better than me

There she was on the front porch

All dressed up to go to church

On the verge of crying tears

Anyone can see how much she hurts

She said I feel alone on most days

I try hard to keep those feelings in

You don't come around so much anymore

I'm never sure when I'll see you again

I don't know what they told you son

But the darkness comes for everyone

There's a light that I can't see

I hope you do better than me

There we are in a photo

A complicated memory

Seemed so simple, but it never really was

We almost look like a family

I don't know what they told you son

But the darkness comes for everyone

There's a light that I can't see

I hope you do better than me
