Hour Of Need
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.
Shadows closin' in on me
But through the darkness I can see
Your face is harder than stone
I wish I may, I wish I might
Turn this darkness into light
I'm blind and yet I see, I love you
But I'm a man, I must be strong
I've let these feelings tear me apart for far too long
But in my darkest hour of need
In my darkest hour of need
Will I ever love again
Or will it always be pretend
It's my heart that needs to know
What can it be, that you and I
Can't give it one more try
But I know that that won't be, and I love you
But I'm a man, I must be strong
I've let these feelings tear me apart for far too long
And in my darkest hour of need
In my darkest hour of need
