Darkness
There's a darkness in the waves
A darkness in the night
A darkness in the day
Darkness
Oh I know you well
Moving my soul
These places that I dwell
So let me count the waves
As they move through my eyes
There's a darkness in these days
And a darkness in my house
Let me count the waves
As I step into the light
There's a darkness in the day
In the California light
There's a darkness in the way
Darkness
How you know me so well
Always know my name
As I whisper to myself
Darkness
Where you gonna stay
As I move in through this life
Cast shadows on the way
And I count the waves
Coming in on the tide
And the birds out in the bay
On the docks at night
Let me count the waves
As I step in from the light
There's a darkness in the day
And a darkness in the light
The California light
The California light
And be around
And be around
And bring you down
