Heart of Darkness
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.
Doing fine now, I’m feeling better
Must admit that I was riding for a fall
Can’t explain how, I’m not a quitter
Still it seems sometimes I have no luck at all
Ain’t it funny how time can change things
Now I know it was worth all the waiting
In the heart of darkness there’s a golden light
Like a silent witness, it’s burning bright
In the depth of sadness, in the dead of night
In the heart of darkness, there’s a golden light
In my lifetime, there’s been trouble
When I was young I knew that things were gonna change
Now it’s my time, those days are gone forever
I can realize there’s only me to blame
Ain’t it funny how time can change things
Now I know it was worth all the waiting
In the heart of darkness there’s a golden light
Like a silent witness, it’s burning bright
In the depth of sadness, in the dead of night
In the heart of darkness, there’s a golden light
