Dark Outside - lyrics

It’s getting so I can’t believe
all of these thoughts that I receive.
Sun in the sky, I can’t conceive
that it’s dark outside.

I see you walk everyday,
down 2nd Street, up Westerbay,
tripping on stones along the way
because it’s dark outside.

Snow falls today, faster than light.
I look to my left, you stand to my right,
taking my arm you hold me tight
because it’s dark outside.

Love in the past like cynical sand
flakes with the salt upon my land,
but you buttoned my coat, so I’ll hold your hand
because it’s dark outside.
