"Country Darkness" Lyrics
This tattered document
A mystery you can solve
Some burnt out filament
Flies buzzing around the bulb
Country Darkness
He thought of traveling
Heard an approaching train
Drown out his desperate pulse
A song with no refrain
Country Darkness
She daydreams of forbidden sins
There must be something more
The prison she lives in
The one with the open door
A veil is covering
A glistening cruel blade
Suffer little children
Repent, unfaithful maid
Country Darkness
She daydreams of forbidden sins
There must be something more
The prison she lives in
The one with the open door
A veil is covering
A glistening cruel blade
Suffer little children
Repent, unfaithful maid
Country Darkness
