Lyrics
Thirty Year Night
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.
The night-time crept quickly
And finished the last of the Sun
I closed my eyes and tried hard
To forget what I'd done
There's darkness sweeps down
From above and consumes my soul
Like night it's so empty and bitterly cold
I'm heavy with burdens
That shatter my last chance at sleep
I hear them all crying
See my poor mother weep
A guard on my left
A gavel slams down on my right
And iron bars close
On a thirty year night
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
I scribble a note
Say I'm sorry that it happened this way
Exhaling my last breath so free
Knowing not what to say
The light burns my eyes
But I see peace so clear
My heart bids my soul a farewell
Feet kicking the air
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
Oh Lord, take me home
