The Dark

I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home

I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone

The air is getting heavy, I feel like a rolling stone

Weighing me down like the memory of a Minnesota winter when I'm far from home

The dark is getting deeper, I feel so far from home

Pulling me in like the memory of the feeling of the fear of being all alone

I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home

I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone

The rain is getting heavy, falling like a waterfall

Filling my shoes with the memories of me and you in Belfast in the fall

The rain is beating harder, here comes a cannonball

Flooding my veins, but the feeling is the same, being without you after all

I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home

I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone

If I gotta be alone tonight, I'll be praying for the morning light

I don't wanna be a moon in the sky where the sun don't shine

And the rain ain't nothing but the tears we cry tonight
