A Singer's Request
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
Now the sun it does decline
Pour the beer and pour the wine
Let us lead your thoughts astray
From the world and from the day
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
We bring songs from history
Love and war and mystery
We can lead you from despair
Or can chill the darkening air
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
And you can choose to pass us by
With a cruel or a scornful eye
We shall see the ending through
Then we'll turn and say to you
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long til day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long til day
