Don't This Look Like The Dark

six and a half hours into the west virginia night

half a mile from home and i was makin' pretty good time

thought that i'd gone far enough i couldn't lose the trail

and i stepped through the door i still found the way to fail

i can't start to count the things i said i'd never be

but i became them all the night you quit countin' on me

and all the harder things that you said to my heart

everyone of them things was true but

that one look at the end

that one look at the end

was what ran it through

the big gray owl above me starts again to wail

says that moon has got so low tonight that it's polishin' the rail

now that mountain engine's runnin' about thirty years too late

once you hear it comin' boy it will not let you wait

i used to think that tomorrow was just out there waitin' for me

now i wonder where tomorrow

i wonder where tomorrow

i wonder where tomorrow's going to be

tonight when i am rolling over the earth's most lonesome ground

i will think of all the ways next time i will try not to let you down

i thought that i'd live long enough

that the light would come shining through

don't this look like the dark (x5)
